Course summary
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.
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.
Modules
We will be updating this page with module information over the coming weeks.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
We issue offers to best fit the different circumstances and experiences of our applicants. We take a tailored and holistic approach, considering extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis. We recognise that some students are more likely than others to face barriers to fulfilling their academic potential at school, through no fault of their own. More information on our supportive offer making approaches can be found at: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/what-offer-will-i-get
