The M.Sc. in Building 福利在线免费 Engineering is a postgraduate taught programme aimed at developing a specialised skill set that enables you to innovate and develop sustainable techniques to transmit back to the building industry.

Standards review and application, underpinning science, research and practical group work projects permeate through the programme required to develop such a skill set.

The delivery of this programme is varied, ranging from practical sessions to guest lectures by experts in their field asked to relate their technical expertise and experience to the upcoming generation of building services engineers. The programme culminates with a final year project brief that enables you to utilise the skill set acquired through the taught and practical sessions for a specific application.
