Architectural Engineering (with foundation year)

The foundation year of this Coventry University degree will be delivered from our CU Coventry campus. Course delivery from year 1 of the degree onwards will be from our Coventry University campus.

This course aims to provide you with a solid grounding for a career in architectural engineering to creatively shape the built environment.

The foundation year seeks to provide you with a solid grounding in mathematical principles and an understanding of the core and fundamental principles of civil and construction engineering. Professional and academic skills are integrated across all modules, including information finding and handling, problem solving, and the communication of outcomes. Students who successfully complete their foundation year will then progress onto the Architectural Engineering BEng (Hons) degree within Coventry University’s School of School of Energy, Construction and Environment.
