Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Architectural and Structural)
Where architectural design meets engineering
Interested in a creative career that explores elements of both architectural design and engineering?
Architectural engineers visualize projects, plan, collaborate, test ideas and come up with high-tech building solutions. They design systems for some of the most innovative infrastructure in today’s society.
What will you do?
Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Architectural and Structural) brings the disciplines of architecture and engineering together in a unique program. You will:
- learn in state-of-the-art facilities
- undertake practical projects and work on real-world simulations
- build skills in geotechnical engineering, construction, and operation systems
- analyze material strengths, load, and stress
- explore sustainability and architectural integrity
- pursue specializations in your areas of interest
- complete eight weeks of practical experience.
In your final year, you will also collaborate with the industry on a major design project.
Where could it take you?
As an accredited engineer, you’ll be in demand in both the architectural and building industries. You might plan underground infrastructure for renewable energy systems. Perhaps you’ll design blast-proof buildings in the defense sector. Want to become an architect as well? Graduates have the exclusive opportunity to continue on to further study with our Masters of Architecture.

Job Opportunity Potential
There are three key steps you will need to take when addressing the selection criteria in any University of Adelaide job application:
- Create a new document. Your statement addressing the position’s specified selection criteria should be separate from your cover letter and resume.
- List each criterion separately. Give each a title, using exactly the same wording as appears on the Position Description (e.g. Excellent verbal communication skills).
- Address each criterion. Under each heading, write two short paragraphs explaining how your experience, skills, education and training equip you to meet that specific requirement. Dot points are also acceptable.
Please note that failing to submit a statement addressing the selection criteria could result in your application not being considered.
Some helpful writing tips
There are a number of steps you can take when putting together your responses to increase their clarity and impact.
- Give details of one or two specific things you’ve done that are good examples of the relevant experience or knowledge required. For example: ‘I was responsible for organising an event attended by… This involved…'
- Preface these examples with a short overview that shows you appreciate the relevance of the specific criterion.
- Quantify your experience (number of years worked, staff supervised, etc.). For example: ‘I delivered a presentation to an industry forum with an audience of 80 people.’
- Where possible, indicate how successfully you meet the criterion. You could do this by referring to feedback from others, or things you've set up that are still being used. For example: ‘A report I wrote about… was endorsed by the… Committee and circulated to all stakeholders for discussion.
You could also consider using the STAR method as a structural framework when describing examples of your work. This involves describing, in the order listed here, the:
- situation you faced
- task required, and desired outcome
- action you took to complete the task
- results you achieved, and lessons you learned.
