Structural Engineering with Architecture
BSc (Hons) (NFQ Level 8) & ME (NFQ Level 9)
learn how to link the engineering language of mathematics with the visual/graphical languages of architecture for innovative structural designs.
develop strong analytical, design and communication skills covering all aspects of building construction and project management.
Why is this course for me? If you are interested in the beauty of architec- tural design and want to be the one who real- ises these designs by creating viable solutions that ensure structures stand the test of time, then this is the course for you. Te Structural Engineering with Architecture degree at UCD is a two part degree, with an initial three year bachelor’s degree followed by a two year mas- ter’s degree, focusing primarily on the design of structures. Te programme’s aim is to develop an appreciation for architecture coupled with the solid fundamentals of an engineering degree. Tis will enable graduates to challenge the tra- ditional boundaries of structural design.
What will I study? Sample modules for Structural Engineering with Architecture students include:
First Year Creativity in Design • History & Teory of the Designed Environment I • Mathematics • Teory & Design of Structures • Design & Materials • Energy Engineering
Second Year Construction Materials • Construction Practice • Mechanics of Solids • Soil Mechanics 1 • Design & Communications for Structural Engineers
Third Year Structure & Form • Analysis of Structures • Design of Structures • Building Energy Systems • Numerical Methods for Engineers Fourth Year Taught modules in semester one are typically followed by an eight month work placement. Tose not on work placements will do a design project and two taught modules. Modules include: Professional Engineering for Civil & Structural Engineers • Structural Design & Analysis • Soil Mechanics & Systems
Fifth Year Innovation Leadership • Structural Design & Analysis • Construction Management •

A Construction management A Project management and planning A Management consultancy and finance
You can also pursue an academic career, and a PhD in Structural Engineering, in Ireland or abroad.
International Study Opportunities Opportunities to date have included semesters at: A University of Cantabria, Spain
A University of California, USA Conor
Whelan STUDENT
I was interested in architecture and design, but I also excelled in maths and physics in school. Tis degree was a great crossover between the two. Te lectures are varied: from Maths for Engineers to History & Teory of Architecture. Te eight month
work experience offered in the master’s degree is very beneficial, as is the final year project – which involves a lot of teamwork.
A-Level/GCSE Passes (GCSE Grade C or above) in six recognised subjects including those above, of which two must be minimum Grade C or above at A-Level.
Guideline Equivalent Average A-Level Grades A*A*B (A-Level) & a (AS) or equivalent combination
Guideline Equivalent Minimum A-Level Grades BBCC (A-Level) or equivalent combination
Average Intake 25
Length of Programme 3 Years (BSc) + 2 Years (ME)
Note: Graduate fees may be payable for the master’s element of this programme.
Progression Entry Routes FETAC Entry Route — None
IT Transfer Route — None 1 A-Level candidates are usually exempt from the Irish Language Requirement.
2 Minimum Grade HC3 in Leaving Certificate or equivalent.
3 Minimum Grade HD3 in Leaving Certificate or equivalent.
