Architectural Engineering

About this course

Architectural Engineering is a discipline that sits at the boundary between architecture and engineering, concerned with the design of buildings that are not only visually and spatially effective but also structurally sound, energy efficient, sustainable, and healthy for the people who use them. As the built environment accounts for a substantial proportion of global energy consumption and carbon emissions, architectural engineers have a critical role to play in designing buildings that are resilient, adaptable to future climate change, and genuinely supportive of occupant wellbeing. At Heriot-Watt University, this four-year, full-time BEng (Hons) provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to design buildings that provide sustainable, low-energy environments while being structurally sound and adaptable to the demands of a changing climate. You will develop expertise across struct
