Sustainable Building Design and Engineering, MSc will give students the engineering and technical design skills to forge a career in the ever-expanding sustainable construction sector.
The increasing drive towards sustainable solutions in the built environment is driving the need for well-educated professionals with a real understanding of this issue. The Sustainable Building Design and Engineering course teaches students about the technical design and engineering associated with the delivery of such projects in a commercially-focused world.
Students will consider both passive (building fabric) and active measures (building services and renewable energy technologies), with key modules covering sustainable and healthy buildings, building simulation, and environmental and passive design systems.
Teaching involves a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops. Students will be able to discuss and develop their understanding of lecture topics in seminars and smaller group sessions, as well as with their personal tutor. Outside of timetabled sessions, students are also expected to dedicate time to self-study. This may involve further reading and research, preparing coursework and presentations, and preparing for tests and exams. Greenwich's Stockwell Street Library and online resources will support students in these activities. In addition, during the week learners can attend guest lectures from industry experts, take part in employability and enterprise workshops and join student societies such as RICS.
Career options open to upon successful completion of this course include roles within government agencies, local authorities, and development agencies.
