Course Summary

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 currently 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. We also give you 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.

Use specialist facilities

We have a range of facilities to support your studies including environmental monitoring facilities and an artificial sky with light meters. You’ll also have access to specialist computer and software facilities for environmental modelling. Our laboratories contain equipment that exceed industry standards

Start your future here

Our course prepares you for a career in industry, research or academia by giving you the knowledge to make a valuable contribution to sustainable development.
