About the course

A shift towards zero carbon solutions for both new and existing buildings will be integral to the global strategy to deliver sustainable built environments. Immerse yourself in perspectives and practice in the decarbonisation of buildings with our highly-relevant Sustainable Buildings postgraduate degree.

Designed to build relevant professional knowledge, this focused course will enable you to explore industry-tested methods for modelling energy efficiency, designing low carbon retrofit solutions, undertaking performance gap analysis, evaluating and specifying smart solutions.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must have a minimum of a second class (2:2) honours degree.

This course is recommended for current built environment professionals who want to formalise, update or enhance their existing skills in building energy and sustainability. The course is also open to graduates from across the humanities, science, or business, who are interested in refocusing their skills to work on the design, construction, retrofitting, building services, or costing of sustainable buildings.

We look for applicants who have some prior knowledge linked to the built environment, so they are ready for the scope of the curriculum.
