Course summary

Gain knowledge and expertise to specialise in the design of comfortable and healthy environments in and around buildings, regardless of climate, and with due regard to sustainable issues.

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 expertise in the design of comfortable and healthy environments in and around buildings, regardless of 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.
