The course is run in conjunction with the School of Architecture and Interior Design at the University of North London , and students will spend one day a week during the first two years studying there. The course has an emphasis on creative, conceptual design so that, in addition to the basic core subjects in civil engineering, the course includes architectural design and drawing, the context of contemporary and historical architecture, and architecture surveying. Teaching and assessment You will be taught by a combination of lectures, coursework and projects. Practising engineers act as advisers and also contribute to the lecture courses. In addition to the features of the other civil engineering courses, the architecture component will mostly be taught in design studios.
Assessment is by means of coursework, project work and examinations held at the end of each year.
Continuous assessment of course and practical work accounts for roughly 30 per cent of the marks each year. All years contribute to the final degree classification with increasing weight up to the final year. You should be numerate and able to develop problem-solving and communication skills. All applicants are invited to visit the School and are given the opportunity to meet staff and students from the course.
