Course Overview

The course provides a practitioner perspective to analyze building energy requirements in terms of the external environment and internal space, and the effect on energy resources. We consider the principles of associated building engineering systems to understand control, simulation, and modeling techniques. As well as the core engineering skills, appropriate areas of management and research methods are studied to provide a balanced foundation for specialist units. The MSc dissertation provides an opportunity to develop further research skills through in-depth and innovative thinking.

General Eligibility

A BEng (Hons) degree in an appropriate discipline. Normally upper second class would be considered a minimum, but lower-class may be acceptable depending on experience. Cognate degrees in appropriate disciplines (e.g. physics, chemistry, or mathematics) will be accepted provided the candidate demonstrates some knowledge of building services engineering. Other qualifications may be accepted depending on age and experience. This category would normally be reserved for mature candidates who have had several years experience in the building services industry.
