BEng Architectural Engineering with International Foundation Year for international students

If you want to study architectural engineering at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BEng Architectural Engineering with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate architectural engineering degree.

You will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto our three-year BEng Architectural Engineering degree. This means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.

94% of students in the School of Construction Management and Engineering said our teaching staff were good or very good at explaining things (National Student Survey, 2023).

The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.

For more information, visit the International Foundation Programme website.

New UK/Republic of Ireland students: £9,250

New international students: £24,500

*UK/Republic of Ireland fee changes

UK/Republic of Ireland undergraduate tuition fees are regulated by the UK government. These fees are subject to parliamentary approval and any decision on raising the tuition fees cap for new UK students would require the formal approval of both Houses of Parliament before it becomes law.
