Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) and Bachelor of Design in Architecture

Course Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Design in Architecture is a five year combined degree that caters for the emerging need for professionals who can work across architectural and structural engineering design. There is an emphasis on the conceptual and aesthetical aspects of the design process in the architectural studies, while the engineering studies teach the analysis of forces within the structure, and how to proportion the structural skeleton to support these forces. The Bachelor of Design in Architecture can only be combined with the Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) award.

You will study conceptual and aesthetic aspects of the design process in architectural studies, while learning about planning, designing and testing structures within the built environment. This overarching course of study will provide you with a holistic approach to the design of our built environment and with skills that will encourage greater diversity and ingenuity in the design and construction of our buildings.

This combined degree offered at the University of Sydney is distinct from the "Architectural Engineering” degrees offered at other universities, nationally and internationally, in that graduates will receive Bachelor degrees in both Engineering and Design in Architecture. The combined degree, therefore, provides pathways to both professions.

Course Requirements

To qualify for the award of the combined degree, a candidate must successfully complete 240 credit points in accordance with the unit of study tables for the Civil Engineering combined with Design in Architecture degree.
