Course summary
Overview
The buildings we inhabit say a lot about our society. With climate emergency being the pressing issue of our time, sustainable architecture is more important than ever to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Here at Oxford Brookes, you will take a broad view of what it takes to design and operate low-carbon energy efficient buildings. You’ll explore everything from heating and ventilation systems to the behaviour of users. You’ll keep up to date with developments in policy and construction techniques. And you’ll examine the industry’s biggest challenges so you can work to solve them and contribute to a sustainable future.
We use our industry links and research connections to give you the latest insights and the greatest opportunities – whether you want to learn more about new technologies or network with the biggest players in the consultancy business. You’ll find plenty of ways to personalise the course to your own interests and career goals too.
With accreditation by the Energy Institute, you can access a huge range of resources and training to boost your career.
Careers
If you have an architectural background, you’ll probably be joining the course to specialise and learn more about how to make your practice more sustainable. You could open up new opportunities and become an expert in this important field.
But the course isn’t just for architects – we welcome engineers, physicists, and more. You could change your career or add specialist knowledge to your current role. Your skills will be valuable in areas like sustainability consultancy or policy making.
You’ll have up-to-date knowledge of everything from building regulations to environmental models. You’ll have practical experience and critical thinking skills that will allow you to adapt to new technologies we can’t yet predict.
