    Course Summary

    A BSc degree in Architectural Engineering from London South Bank University is a great way to take the first step towards a meaningful, rewarding professional career whilst learning about the construction process and the complicated physics that underlie some of the world’s most iconic structures.

    You’ll study a blended curriculum consisting of both civil engineering and architecture. In addition to learning about the form and function of modern buildings, you’ll understand the environmental impact of different building designs and construction methods. You’ll also gain proficiency with high level skills such as construction management and finance, setting yourself up for a leadership role in a wide range of organisations.

    This program incorporates an optional year in industrial or professional placement, making it a 4 year pathway to a ‘3 year’ degree. This is more than an opportunity to gain experience as an architectural engineer, it is a way to set yourself apart from other graduates by gaining highly specialised skills.  

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
