Program Overview

International Foundation – helping you to develop specialist knowledge, language and study skills, this intensive one-year study abroad pathway program will bridge the gap between high school and undergraduate study.

Prepare for entry to Year 1 of an undergraduate degree in a range of subjects including biomedical sciences, computing, engineering, nursing, pharmacy and science at Queen's University Belfast.

Leading to:- Master of Engineering (Hons) in Structural Engineering with Architecture

Structural Engineering with Architecture is concerned with the planning, design, construction, sustainability, management, energy use, aesthetics and rehabilitation of the built environment.

Fields of activity include architectural design, structures, foundations, building technology, urban space and form and architecture. Structural engineers require not only technical skills, but are also concerned with working in, and managing, multidisciplinary design teams.

Students will have the opportunity to tailor their studies according to their skills and interest after a common first year with our three complementary pathway programmes:

• Civil Engineering
• Structural Engineering with
• Architecture
• Environmental and Civil Engineering

However students choose to specialise, they will have the opportunity to address some of the most significant challenges of the modern world, such as achieving sustainable living in an increasingly urbanised society. As the demands on resources such as water, energy and land increase, there will continue to be a strong need for qualified Civil and Structural Engineers with relevant technical skills and who also possess an ethical awareness of the environmental impact of the projects they undertake.

Structural Engineering with Architecture is one of a family of Civil Engineering degrees at Queen's University Belfast. Civil Engineering was one of the founding degrees at Queen's, making it one of the oldest in the UK and Ireland. However, it remains one of the most sought-after careers with the potential to solve the challenges facing modern society.
