The Structural Engineering with Architecture BSc at University College Dublin is designed for students passionate about the intersection of design and structural integrity. If you aspire to be the professional who translates ambitious architectural visions into safe, enduring, and viable structures, this programme provides the essential foundation. You will explore the principles of structural analysis, material science, and architectural theory, preparing you for a career where creativity meets technical expertise to shape the built environment. This undergraduate degree is ideal for those seeking to understand how buildings and infrastructure are conceived and realised.
You will study this full-time, on-campus programme over four years, structured as a 3+2 pathway leading to a Master of Engineering. Your learning experience will blend lectures, tutorials, and laboratory workshops with independent study, covering core areas such as structural analysis, design, geotechnics, and construction materials. In your final undergraduate year, you will undertake a significant group design project and explore energy systems in buildings. Graduates are prepared for diverse roles in structural engineering, architectural practice, and construction management, equipped with practical skills and a comprehensive understanding of the design and realisation process.
