This course aims to challenge students to develop a critical, independent, experimental and technically rigorous approach to architectural, environmental and structural design and engineering. It has a strong focus on design and the use of advanced fabrication facilities and labs where students are encouraged to develop leading-edge engineering knowledge, judgement and intuition. The Undergraduate Preparatory Certificates (UPCs) are intensive one-year foundation courses for international students of high academic potential who are aiming to gain access to undergraduate degree programmes at UCL and other top UK universities. Assessment is focused on coursework submissions, including engineering design portfolios, assessment of built prototypes and written submissions. It is supplemented by a range of further methods including formal examination, crits, studio and laboratory assessments, and e-assessments. This MEng course is designed so that you will actively acquire a broad base of knowledge and skills to meet the educational and professional standards for a senior career in engineering and architectural design. You will learn to develop, articulate and advocate your own position and will also develop expertise in areas of particular interest via self-directed engineering design and research projects. It will uniquely equip you with the creative engineering and architectural design skills and critical faculties that are key to solving the complex challenges of the built environment, making you ideally placed to lead transformation in the construction industry.
