Course Description

BEng Architectural Engineering with International Foundation Year for international students

If you want to study architectural engineering at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BEng Architectural Engineering with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate architectural engineering degree.

You will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto our three-year BEng Architectural Engineering degree. This means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.

The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.
