What Our Students Say
Study Architectural Engineering at the University of Reading
At the University of Reading, we offer architectural engineering as a BEng and a MEng degree.
Switching from BEng to MEng Architectural Engineering
During Daniel’s second year on the BEng Architectural Engineering course, he decided to switch to MEng Architectural Engineering to get the most out of his time studying in the UK.
Pursuing a passion for sustainable design
Before studying MEng Architectural Engineering at the University of Reading, Mark worked as a mechanical engineer in the motorsport industry, but later decided on a change of career.
Embracing a wide variety of topics throughout modules
Current student, Izzy, talks about how she made the switch from BEng Architectural Engineering to MEng Architectural Engineering and how this has benefitted her studies.
An opportunity to be both technical and creative
MEng Architectural Engineering student, Archie, talks about why he chose the University of Reading and types of topics he has enjoyed studying on the course.
Reading University Construction Society (RUCS)
Vice-President of the RUCS society, Harry, talks about the types of events they host for students in the School of Construction Management and Engineering.
