There is an urgent need for more efficient, sustainable buildings. UCL’s Environmental Design and Engineering MSc develops new generations of experts to apply innovative, sustainable approaches to building design and operation. For over 40 years, we have continually produced a stream of high-achieving graduates sought after by the biggest names in building design and construction.

Careers

As the awareness of global environmental issues increases, the demand for people with expertise in the health and energy performance of buildings is expanding rapidly. Our graduates tend to move into, or continue in, building-related professions such as architecture, low-energy design consultancy, or building services engineering. A number of students have also used the MSc as a foundation for MPhil/PhD research.

Employability

This programme is very "close to market" with many students finding jobs even before their studies have finished: the skills students gain are those that employers need. For example, we teach several tools used by commercial companies including the thermal analysis software IESVE.

Optional qualifications

This degree is also available as a PG Diploma with fees set accordingly.

Accreditation

This course has been accredited as suitable further learning to meet the academic requirement for Chartered Engineers (CEng) by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and Energy Institute.
