Architectural Engineer: As architectural engineers, graduates integrate engineering principles with architectural design to create functional, safe, and sustainable building structures. They collaborate with architects and construction teams, ensuring that architectural designs meet technical specifications, building codes, and environmental standards. Roles may include structural engineers, building services engineers, or façade engineers.

Construction Project Manager: Graduates can pursue careers as construction project managers, overseeing building projects from inception to completion. They coordinate resources, manage timelines and budgets, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and safety standards. Project managers liaise with architects, engineers, contractors, and clients to deliver successful construction projects.

Urban Designer/Planner: With expertise in architectural design and urban planning principles, graduates may work as urban designers or planners. They contribute to the development of sustainable cities and communities, designing public spaces, transportation systems, and residential areas that enhance quality of life and promote environmental sustainability. Urban designers collaborate with local governments, developers, and community stakeholders.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Specialist: Graduates skilled in BIM technologies and digital design tools may work as BIM specialists or coordinators. They use BIM software to create digital models of buildings, facilitate collaboration among design teams, simulate construction processes, and manage building information throughout the project lifecycle. BIM specialists play a crucial role in improving project efficiency and reducing construction costs.

Environmental Consultant/Sustainability Advisor: With a focus on sustainable design practices, graduates can work as environmental consultants or sustainability advisors. They assess building designs for environmental impact, recommend energy-efficient solutions, and ensure compliance with green building certifications such as LEED or Green Star. Sustainability advisors help organizations adopt eco-friendly practices and achieve sustainable development goals.

Heritage Conservation Specialist: Graduates interested in preserving architectural heritage may specialize as heritage conservation specialists. They assess historical buildings for preservation, restoration, or adaptive reuse projects, ensuring that architectural integrity is maintained while meeting contemporary functional requirements and sustainability standards. Heritage conservation specialists work with heritage organizations, museums, and government agencies.
