MSc Built Environment: Environmental Design and Engineering

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 5 years

Masters Degree Description

To combat climate change and achieve net-zero carbon targets there is an urgent need for a sustainable, efficient, and healthier built environment. UCL's Environmental Design and Engineering MSc equips you for a successful career in sustainable building design and operation. It teaches you to use innovative approaches and tools to design and engineer buildings that are both sustainable and efficient that can be used in jobs in sustainable architecture, engineering and other built environment professions.

Entry Requirements

A second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. architecture, engineering, physics and other relevant disciplines in built environment) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. If your first degree was not in a relevant discipline, please clearly state in your personal statement how your educational or employment background (including any internships or projects) relates to the programme and what you aim to achieve through your studies.
