Reducing energy consumption is an international imperative. Our course is designed to equip you with the skills and vision to tackle this challenge both innovatively and responsibly.
Throughout the course, you will focus on design strategies and computer modelling in response to climate change to promote and encourage sustainability. The curriculum embraces sustainable development and the built environment from a holistic perspective, taking into account cultural, social, economic, and ecological factors.
You’ll be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to address the challenges of sustainable buildings and energy performance, and gain an understanding of how architecture and the built environment work in the real world.
DMU has an exciting global outlook and we are the only United Nations Sustainable Development Goals hub based in the UK. You’ll take part in research which connects with the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action (goal number 13) and cities and communities (goal number 11).
