Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
This is the place where we design a greener and energy efficient future, using scientific evidence.
Our Renewable Energy and Architecture MSc teaches you how to use and integrate energy from renewable sources (such as sun and wind), to achieve energy efficiency and sustainability within the context of architecture, planning and construction.
You’ll learn how to design, simulate and optimise energy efficient and sustainable building and construction solutions – in urban and landscape settings and in different climates. You’ll practice how to make scientifically verified design decisions and apply these at all levels and all stages of the design process, from site planning to landscape design and from urban and detailed building design to construction.
2:1 (or international equivalent) in architecture, building engineering, building services engineering, electrical engineering, town planning / urban design, civil/structural engineering or mechanical engineering. Applicants from other relevant professional backgrounds may also be considered.
Our programme is a proven route to global employment opportunities and PhD research.
Graduates have gone on to become sustainability consultants and energy analysts, researchers (including doing PhDs) and academics (eg lecturers and professors). Some alumni have even set up their own successful companies (such as Aelius Turbina in India and GIW Environmental Solutions which has offices in Australia, Canada and the Maldives).
