Applying to Engineering and Architectural Design (Meng) and/or Architecture (BSc)

I was thinking of applying to both courses and was wondering if that’s a reasonable idea and/or possible?
I fall under contextual offer and have predicted grades AABB with Architectures contextual offer being BBC and the Engineering and Architectural Design contextual offer being ABB, so I think both courses may be possible for me?
but I can’t find any information on how much the personal statement of the engineering and architectural design course may differ from just architecture so I was wondering if anyone could help as I don’t want to waste an option if it’s basically a guaranteed fail.

I was also wondering if this would mean I’d need to submit two portfolios.

Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for the long-winded question 🙏
hey, i recently got an interview for eng & archi meng and i applied for both. I can say my personal statement didn’t mention engineering at all, just architecture.

as for the portfolio submission, you need to submit 2 separate ones for both courses. if you were applying for the integrated masters and Bsc, then it’s only one portfolio.

hope this helps and best of luck!
