Course overviewThis course is a design-based masters degree that provides advanced training in integrated environmental design and sustainability in the built environment. The course will equip you with the necessary skills to integrate environmental and sustainable design principles from an early stage in the design process, enabling you to deliver truly sustainable buildings.The course builds on a unique project-based approach, with emphasis on the integration of technical and theoretical knowledge and skills in building design studio. This course is suitable for those with training in architecture and other building design subjects, with a deep sense of responsibility toward creating a more habitable planet for current and future generations.Course contentIn the autumn and spring semesters, you will complete 120 credits worth of modules including two design modules. These are studio-based exercises where practical skills and creativity are challenged and examined through an architectural project. Additional lectures and seminar modules provide a parallel knowledge base and intellectual support for the design project and for the final dissertation.You will spend the summer semester producing a 60-credit supervised dissertation or design thesis. This will be an in-depth study of an individually determined topic and is an opportunity to conduct a major piece of independent research that reflects individual interests and aspirations.
