  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc/PGDip/PGCert FT: MSc 12 months, PGDip 9 months; PT: MSc 27 months, PGDip 18 months.

Course Description

This unique multidisciplinary course explores sustainable design principles and issues at an advanced level. It provides students with the knowledge, skills and tools to be able to design, plan, evaluate and advise on the creation of low-carbon, sustainable buildings as well as evaluate the environmental impacts of their decisions.

The course is specifically designed to meet the need for buildings to be judged by their actual performance as much as by their appearance and to demonstrate sustainability in terms of: their global impact with regard to climate changing emissions and use of rapidly dwindling finite resources; their impact on levels of pollution and waste; their ability to positively contribute towards sustainable development and human well-being.

 

Entry Requirements

  • Hold an approved undergraduate honours degree (or equivalent) at first or upper second class in a relevant discipline ie architecture, engineering or physics and other subjects related to the built and natural environments.

Applications are also considered from potential candidates who wish to seek accreditation for their prior experiential learning or earlier qualifications, particularly those who have worked on projects in related fields. A number of our applicants use the programme as a means of facilitating a career change or progression.
