Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Develop the skills to become an environmental design specialist and create buildings that combine sustainability with comfortable living.
Our course brings together architectural design and engineering so you can create spaces that are practical and sustainable as well as beautiful. You’ll learn how to design buildings with low-carbon footprints and a focus on comfortable and healthy living.
Reducing the environmental impact of construction is one of the most important challenges industry faces. We want to help you advance your design and technical skills to work as a trained professional creating a more sustainable future for our infrastructure. You’ll apply engineering principles and your understanding of how people use buildings to come up with building design solutions. The new concepts and technologies you’ll explore will help you graduate with the confidence and knowledge to develop sustainable building strategies.
You’ll also have the opportunity to take a five-day intensive course in Passivhaus design. This trains you to become a qualified Passivhaus designer or consultant. There is an extra cost for taking this course.
Learn from experts in the field
Based in our Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering, you’ll learn from academics with expertise in the effects of climate change on the built infrastructure and the need for sustainable development. Their international collaborations and research activity feed into our teaching and contribute to your learning experience.
Use specialist facilities
We have a range of facilities to support your studies including environmental monitoring facilities and access to specialist computer and software facilities for environmental modelling. Our laboratories contain equipment that exceed industry standards.
You should have a first or strong second-class Bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent.
To apply for this programme you should have an undergraduate degree in an appropriate subject such as architectural engineering, architecture with strong technical content, civil engineering or building services engineering, or another subject which included a significant modelling component (e.g. physics or engineering).
You must demonstrate basic quantitative skills, acquired through modules such as building physics, mathematics or statistics.
