Study Architecture and Engineering in the UK

Anglia Foundation has sent students to England to do the following architecture courses:

-At the University of Bath

The discipline of architecture operates at the intersection between human beings and their environments. The architect therefore plays a vital role in shaping and sustaining our everyday experiences, our comfort and well-being, our delight in the grand vision and our appreciation of simple pleasures. A deep understanding of the subtle forces that shape architectural design is therefore essential for any practising architect.

• Programmes are organised to regularly immerse students in both the practical as well as theoretical aspects of design. This is known as a thin sandwich programme.
• The interdisciplinary team works on projects with students from Civil Engineering programmes.
• The University maintains an excellent graduate employment record.
• Research strengths in the Department include architectural history and theory, lightweight structures, computer-aided design and the environmental design of buildings.

-At the University of Sheffield

All three years of this degree course are divided approximately equally between lecture courses and studio-based courses. The first year studio course acts as a foundation year that aims to bring together students from a range of academic backgrounds. Projects develop in scale and complexity until the major design project at the end of the third year, which addresses a range of cultural, technological, conceptual and representational ideas.

The course will provide a balance of theory, design work and professional experience. You'll carry out much of your work in the design studio which acts as a laboratory for trialing creative and critical ideas, and for developing fundamental architectural skills. Lectures and design teaching are delivered by people at the forefront of their field.

This course is recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and gives exemption from RIBA Part 1. Students on this route generally take a year out in professional practice before returning to a two year MArch in Architecture course either at Sheffield or another school. All the qualifications are prescribed by the Architects Registration Board which means you'll be able to join the Register of Architects when you've completed your training.

We have also sent many students to do the following engineering courses:

CIVIL ENGINEERING

-At Loughborough University

The Department offers four Civil Engineering programmes: an MEng consisting of 4-years full-time study, a BEng of 3 years full-time study, and two equivalent sandwich programmes, each of which includes a period spent in industry after two years academic work and leads to the appropriate degree award plus a Diploma in Industrial Studies (DIS). Teaching on all programmes is by a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars and laboratory work, with field trips and site visits as appropriate. The programmes also offer sponsorship, an outdoor management course and give you the opportunity to study at an overseas university either in Europe, the USA, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong or Australia for up to six months in your final year.

Many companies target Loughborough when recruiting because they know that our graduates are of high quality and are well trained. Major companies are directly involved in sponsoring our degree programmes, supporting project work and providing industrial training.

-At the University of Nottingham

The flagship course provides a solid grounding in core subjects, including structures, geotechnics, materials, fluids, surveying and construction management, with opportunities for MEng students to specialise in key areas such as transportation in later years. There are projects for all students in all years. They cover design, surveying and research in a range of topics. The modules we offer are inspired by the research interests of the university staff. They’re also shaped by new developments in industry and as a consequence, may change from year to year. Students will be equipped to embark on a career in civil engineering, or other disciplines that require numerate problem-solving graduates

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

-At the University of Surrey

Almost everything that we associate with daily life in this technological age involves the work of professional mechanical engineers. They are involved in the design, supply, operation and performance of complex technologies for applications including aircraft, satellites, engines, robots, automobiles, production lines, construction machinery and medical equipment.

Their work is creative, varied, challenging and responsible. It is also respected, well rewarded and offers enormous potential for outstanding career success. Mechanical engineers frequently occupy key positions in senior management and are sought after for their highly developed analytical, computing and managerial abilities.

The degrees of Surrey University offer you choices for broad-based or specialist study, geared to the realities of industry and commerce today. Designed to equip you with the knowledge and experience required of professional engineers, teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials and seminars, supported by laboratory classes where you can test out the theory.

An advantage of our Mechanical Engineering and related programmes in Aerospace Engineering and Medical Engineering is a common first year. This introduces you to the broad basis of mechanical engineering and ensures that you can communicate with engineers of different specialisations. It also allows you to confirm or change your degree choice.

-At Lancaster University

Imagine being part of a team to design a high performance racing car or a functioning robot. For students on our Mechanical Engineering course this can become a reality. The second year of study includes a robot project and in the third or fourth year students can join our Formula Student racing car design team.

These projects are just a few examples of the way in which the course helps students gain solid experience in all aspects of mechanical system design. With this experience comes the chance to think creatively, building innovative problem solving skills and sharp analytical abilities. This combination of practical and analytical skill means students have the option of entering an exciting variety of careers after graduation.
