University of East London

[EduCativ]

We have seven academic schools and a school providing specialist support for postgraduates and research. Each School maintains its website to find all you need to know about the programs they offer. The School of Architecture, Computing, and Engineering (ACE) is an award-winning School with dedicated industrial links and critical vocational education strengths. The School has a track record in producing highly employable graduates by applying design methodologies and advanced technologies to real-life scenarios in architecture, computing, and engineering.

The leading professional bodies accredit our courses in architecture, computing, and engineering fields – such as ARB/RIBA, BCS, ICE, IET, IStrutE, CIHT, IHE, and CIoB. An experienced teaching team delivers them to add critical competencies to the critical theory. They will give you the confidence to rigorously analyze real-life problems within your chosen sector and to be able to design suitable solutions through the creative and innovative use of the most relevant technologies.

Our research community's commitment ensures we are at the leading edge of developments in architecture, computing, and engineering. Excellence in research feeds directly into our teaching practice. You will benefit from highly committed staff, many of whom are leading figures in their fields.

Welcome you to the School of Architecture, Computing, and Engineering (ACE) at the University of East London.

The School provides a dynamic and stimulating environment to study inspiring and creative subject areas such as architecture, product design, computing, and engineering. ACE aims to be the leading provider of employable graduates by introducing the latest pedagogical concepts, novel learning and teaching methods, and practice-based research of relevance to the local and regional cultural community. Our programs are designed to encourage and nurture innovation and independent thinking, working towards graduating students who are skilled and respected professionals within their chosen field. At the heart of our curriculum are an ideas-led approach to creative risk, exploration, questioning, entrepreneurship, and collaboration in pursuit of the most innovative and creative work.

We have developed a specific provision that equips graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to foster original concepts that will contribute to wealth creation in London and the UK. Our curriculum encourages students to integrate their society's culture and values in many aspects of their work.

The leading professional bodies accredit our ACE programs in the architecture, computing, and engineering fields – such as ARB/RIBA, BCS, ICE, IET, IStrutE, CIHT, IHE, and CIoB. These internationally recognized accreditations have a beneficial impact on your career as they are acknowledged worldwide and are respected by employers and colleagues.

We have dedicated laboratory facilities for engineering, computing, and architecture housed in new, purpose-built labs at our Docklands Campus. These provide an ideal environment for students to test theories and master practical skills. Our facilities include:

• fully compliant professional qualifications laboratory
• civil engineering laboratory
• computer studios to explore theoretical and virtual models of architecture
• network teaching laboratory
• specialist surveying laboratories
• architecture and visual arts center - a purpose-built, creative space
• microprocessors laboratory
• power laboratory

Architecture, computing, and engineering are competitive industries, and there are plenty of opportunities to enter professional and artistic competitions. To the department's credit, ACE students and staff regularly win national and international prizes in varied fields. Awards include the 2015 Turner Prize - the UK's most prestigious visual arts award. This was won by a Stratford-based architecture and design practice that included two UEL architecture lecturers. Three UEL architecture graduates were also on the project team that won the 2013 RIBA Stirling Prize - the UK's most significant architecture accolade. In recent years, UEL students have also won the RIBA President's Medal and been shortlisted for the Mayor of London's Low Carbon Entrepreneur award.
