This programme is designed for students who are passionate about understanding energy efficiency, CO₂ reduction, and high-performance engineering systems in buildings. It explores how these elements integrate with key aspects of architectural design, including spatial planning and human interaction with the built environment.
A strong foundation in mathematics, building science, and professional practice is central to the programme, equipping students with the knowledge and skills essential for a successful career in architectural engineering.
Programme Focus Areas:
The curriculum is structured around three key themes:
Energy and sustainability – Exploring efficient energy use and environmental impact reduction.
Systems and whole building design – Integrating engineering strategies to enhance building performance.
Human behavior and interaction with buildings – Understanding how people experience and respond to built environments.
Designing the Future of Sustainable Cities:
Students will develop expertise in creating next-generation buildings that prioritize:
Energy efficiency and reduced consumption
Zero emissions and environmentally responsible design
Climate resilience and adaptation strategies
Renewable energy integration in modern architecture
This unique programme is the only one in the Gulf region offering a UK-accredited degree in Architectural Engineering. It equips you with essential engineering skills while integrating digital innovation, design, and building management.
Designed to shape the built environment of the 21st century, the programme focuses on sustainability, energy efficiency, and low-carbon, green solutions. Throughout your studies, you will explore the dynamic interactions between environmental, technological, design, and human factors, preparing you for a future in sustainable architecture and engineering.
At Heriot-Watt University Dubai, our courses are delivered by the Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Design, a prestigious institution recognized by the Royal Academy of Engineering. This centre is part of an exclusive network of four UK university hubs dedicated to advancing best practices in teaching and research in sustainable design.
Through our Go Global programme, you have the opportunity to study at our Dubai campus or apply for an exchange at one of our partner institutions in North America or Europe, broadening your international experience.
In Year 2, students can take part in Constructionarium, an immersive experience where you collaborate with professional engineers to build scaled-down versions of major civil engineering projects from around the world, gaining invaluable hands-on industry experience.
