Explore the latest in building design practice, methodologies, and processes, developing your skills to work in engineering and architectural firms worldwide.

Our master's introduces you to the challenges of managing building design processes and practices in industry. And specialist units will build your understanding of research, planning and carbon management in practice. Focusing on multidisciplinary approaches, you’ll learn how to balance conflicting design tensions in a project. You’ll study complex issues such as integrating regulation with low-carbon certification and basic building physics. During the course, you’ll explore the relationship between Building Information Modelling (BIM) and collaborative integrated design management.

You’ll also develop detailed knowledge of design tools, strategies, and processes. Using dynamic digital modelling tools, you'll create optimal low-carbon building envelope solutions. You'll put theory into practice working on live project briefs with students from different construction, engineering, and architectural related disciplines. This challenges you to solve design problems in real time while experiencing the kind of multidisciplinary collaboration you’ll find in professional life.

Combining your dissertation with a three-month placement allows you to embed what you’ve learnt in a professional context. It also gives you the chance to deliver solutions to real industry problems posed by your company.

Course highlights

In-depth topics: explore BIM, Building physics, dynamic modelling, codes, regulations and codes, standards, low-carbon building envelopes, sustainability, and well-being standards.
Integrated placement: apply the strategies, theories, and methods you’ve learnt on the course so far to a professional position.
Industry-focused research: complete a dissertation based on a real consultancy project set by your placement company.

Learn from experts in the field

You’ll learn from academics who research sustainable and low-carbon development, building physics and the environment. Their expertise and international collaborations feed into teaching and contribute to your learning experience.

Use specialist facilities

You’ll have access to well-equipped computer suites and laboratories for experimental work to support your studies. You'll use BIM-enabled software and will have access to online software training resources.

From course to career

We developed our course with professional industry partners in architecture and civil engineering to make sure that your studies reflect practice in the construction sector. And it allows us to focus on equipping you with the practical, professional, and transferable skills that employers value. When you graduate, your knowledge of low-carbon and energy efficient design will help you start a career in engineering and design consultancies worldwide. Our graduates work at companies including Arup, Mott MacDonald, National Rail and Aecom.

Placement

You'll spend a minimum of three months in a professional practice between June and December, running in parallel with your research dissertation. A placement is an opportunity for you to apply what you’ve learnt by working on industry-driven research topics. We have extensive links with engineering and design companies offering placements both in the UK and further afield. You can start your placement any time between June and the end of August.

We will do our best to help you find a placement and support and guide you through the process. Our Faculty's PGT employability team organises and delivers employability workshops to guide you through the whole placement process from CV writing and interview techniques to prepare you for applying. We cannot guarantee you a placement position so if you are unable to secure a placement, you'll transfer on to our 12-month alternative course and graduate with an MSc in Low-Carbon Building Design.

Recognition of professional qualifications

As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.

‘The course brings together a mix of students to share their experience in the areas that they already have knowledge and practise in the areas that they don't.’
