The Smart Buildings and Digital Engineering (SBDE) MSc offers a thorough grounding in the science and engineering of building systems integration. Drawing upon the world-leading research conducted in this field at The Bartlett’s Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering, and exploiting strong industry links, it provides students with the knowledge and skills to excel in relevant industry roles or pursue research at the doctoral level. The programme is informed by the latest research advances and the evolving needs of the industry. You will learn about integrated building design, advanced modelling and simulation, machine learning in buildings, and performance evaluation. You will develop the expertise to utilise hard-edged engineering methods and quantitative and qualitative tools to test and evolve your designs, integrating quantitative performance considerations.
CareersSuccessful graduates will be equipped with the skills and knowledge required for engineering and specialist roles in companies that provide engineering, design, planning and consulting services for the built environment. Companies that specialise in building services engineering, operations, building controls and energy systems, as well as high-tech companies seeking to deliver disruptive solutions and digital innovation in the built environment will be particularly interested in employing this programme’s graduates, as will public sector agencies and government departments concerned with the built environment, resource efficiency, and energy management.
EmployabilityYou will gain strong core knowledge and hands-on experience with monitoring and energy management systems, and applying industry standards. You will use simulation tools including EnergyPlus, DesignBuilder and will become familiar with modelling languages like Modelica. These skills are highly sought after in the industry.
Optional qualificationsThis degree is also available as a PG Diploma and a PG Certificate with fees set accordingly.
AccreditationThis BSc 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).
A second-class or higher UK Bachelor's degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, is required.
