Civil engineers solve complex problems and are skilled at working in interdisciplinary teams to tackle society's challenges. Architects are visionaries who conceive and plan our constructed world. Structural engineering and architecture combine to shape the built environment that surrounds us. This interdisciplinary programme is taught jointly with the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA), which is part of the Edinburgh College of Art. It will equip you with highly valuable training in structural engineering and give you a deep appreciation of the architectural context. It will prepare you for a holistic approach to sustainable building design and professional licensure. This programme draws on our areas of expertise in structural engineering and architecture: * the use of novel and sustainable building materials * architectural and engineering design methods * the impact of construction on its users, the community, and the environment **United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals** Based on our compulsory course material, this degree aligns with many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the top three being: * SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation * SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure * SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities **Ties to industry** We have strong industrial engagement through our Industrial Advisory Board and industrial input to our teaching, including our design projects. **Programme benefits** * An enviable suite of facilities including specialist laboratories, a student makerspace and cutting-edge industry-standard equipment. * Opportunities to interact with recent graduates who are now working in industry. * Research-led teaching by leaders in their engineering fields whose knowledge is actively sought out by industry and government internationally. * Our unique programmes give you a broad and detailed understanding of civil and environmental engineering, setting you up to work in any field you choose after graduation. * Field trips, design-led and team-oriented teaching approaches, and strong engagement with industry which informs our teaching. * Learn in one of the UK's leading architectural schools to combine your engineering skills with a deep appreciation of the architectural process.

Scotland - Scottish students must apply to the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) for payment of their tuition fees. England/Wales/Northern Ireland - The Rest of UK (RUK) students commencing or continuing their studies in September 2027, the tuition fees will be £10,050. EU On 9th July 2020 the decision was made by the Scottish Government to end free university tuition for European Union (EU) students starting in 2021-22. Funding policy for EU nationals and associated groups starting a course of study in academic year 2022-23 or later will be in line with international fees. Full time international and EU students will pay a fixed annual fee rate for the duration of their programme — 2027 Laboratory
