- evidence of an ability to conduct independent, in depth enquiry within the discipline;
- work that is typically both evaluative and creative;
If desired, students may exit the programme at the end of this level and, depending upon their achievement, will be awarded a BEng (Hons) degree in Architectural Engineering or, if they satisfy the progression requirements, they may transfer to the final year of the MEng, BEng Integrated Master’s Programme in Architectural Engineering.
Students choosing to exit Architectural Engineering with a BEng(Hons) degree or transferring to the final year of the MEng, BEng Integrated Master’s Programme in Architectural Engineering will not have met the requirements for ARB Accreditation.
