Study Details: MSc 15 months full-time
Develop the knowledge of building design practice, methodologies and processes sought after by engineering and architectural design firms and contractors.
Our master’s introduces you to the challenges of managing building design processes and practices in industry. Using multidisciplinary approaches, you’ll learn how to balance conflicting design needs in projects such as sustainability and well-being standards. And you’ll learn how to integrate regulatory requirements with low-carbon certification and basic building physics. During the course, you’ll also explore the relationship between Building Information Modelling (BIM) and collaborative integrated design management.
Using dynamic digital modelling tools, you’ll apply your knowledge to optimise low-carbon building envelope solutions. You’ll put theory into practice working on live project briefs with students from different construction-related disciplines. This challenges you to solve design problems in real time while gaining an insight into multidisciplinary collaboration.
Combining your research dissertation with a three-month placement allows you to embed what you’ve learnt in a professional context. It also gives you the chance to deliver solutions to real industry problems posed by your company.
You’ll learn from academics who research sustainable and low-carbon development, building physics and the environment. Their expertise and international collaborations feed into teaching and contribute to your learning experience.
You’ll receive training in key BIM-enabled software and will have access to extensive online software training resources.
You should have a first or strong second-class Bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent.
To apply for this course, you should have an undergraduate degree in architecture, architectural engineering, building engineering, civil engineering or environmental engineering.
We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
