Advanced Building Services Engineering MSc - 1 Year

Overview Beautiful architecture. Solid structure. What else do buildings need Try living in one without any heating, cooling, electrical power, lighting, water or drainage. What would it be like to work in a tower without lifts How would you manage without telephones, an IT system or an internet connection All of these systems and many more are designed by building services engineers. They turn buildings from empty shells into spaces fit for people to use. What could you achieve From the very start of a building's design, building services engineers are involved helping architects and other members of the design team to get the size, shape and configuration of the building right, as well as determining strategies for designing energy efficient buildings, making them sustainable in the long term. Buildings are responsible for a large chunk of carbon emissions, so this work makes a critical contribution to reducing a building's impact on climate change. Of all the disciplines working in the built environment today, the building services engineer has the broadest reach and the deepest impact, affecting virtually every aspect of building design. This course provides a broad basis of the technological areas of building services and energy engineering, with particular emphasis on the interaction between the built and natural environments, modern industry, and the analysis of developing technologies.

To be considered for entry, applicants will normally be required to hold one of the following qualifications:A bachelor’s degree in engineering (minimum BEng (Hons) Lower Second Class (2:2) or an equivalent qualification in an appropriate engineering or closely related discipline; orAppropriate and relevant professional engineering experience deemed equivalent to an undergraduate degree.Applicants without a formal undergraduate engineering qualification may be considered on an individual basis. In such cases, prior learning and professional experience will be assessed and mapped against the programme learning outcomes to ensure that equivalent Level 6 knowledge and skills have been achieved.
