By developing expertise in the design and specification of comfortable, healthy environments in and around buildings, you can make a valuable contribution to addressing climate emergency issues and to the future of sustainable built environments.
The construction, operation and end of life treatment of buildings is often resource intensive. They require energy, electricity and water, while generating landfill waste, CO2 emissions and other pollution. With increasing awareness of dwindling global resources and the importance of sustainability issues, there is a growing demand for professionals capable of addressing and resolving environmental problems in the built environment.
Our MSc Environmental Design of Buildings aims to develop knowledge and evidence based expertise in the design of comfortable and healthy environments in and around buildings, responding to climate, and with due regard to sustainability issues.
Full time, part-time and distance learning options (which are particularly suitable for professionals working in the field) of this course are offered.
With your online application you will need to provide:
1. A copy of your degree certificate and transcripts which show you have achieved a 2:1 honours degree in a relevant subject. If your degree certificate or result is pending, please upload any interim transcripts or provisional certificates.
We welcome applications from candidates with a lower degree classification, provided it is in a relevant subject area and supported by professional/ practice experience and/ or a transcript demonstrating strong academic performance in related subjects.
Relevant subjects include (but are not restricted to) architecture, building services engineering, building technology, or environmental studies.
If you do not have a degree in a directly related area, but have extensive relevant professional experience, we still encourage you to apply. To support your application, please include signed and dated references from your employer.
2. A copy of your IELTS certificate with an overall score of 6.5 with 5.5 in all subskills, or evidence of an accepted equivalent. Please include the date of your expected test if this qualification is pending.
