There is an urgent and growing need for the integration of sustainable design principles within and across the construction sector. The ability to reduce the consumption of energy and water, and to limit carbon emissions and help mitigate climate change, presents exciting opportunities for built environment professionals. Participants in this programme will develop optimal solutions that balance the individual competing needs for environmental, economic, social and culture sustainability. The programme, which is hosted by one of only four UK Royal Academy of Engineering Centres of Excellence in Sustainable Building Design, also integrates a culturally-adaptable approach to sustainable design that will place our graduates in a strong position to compete in both local and international markets.
Cross-disciplinary programme: The Sustainable Building Design MSc from Heriot-Watt University looks at essential topics such as low-carbon design, environmental considerations, the use of modelling techniques and sustainable technologies. It encourages the development of critical analysis and design skills aimed at evaluating environmentally-friendly construction solutions. A culturally-adaptable approach to design places our graduates in a strong position to compete in local and international markets. This is a truly cross-disciplinary course providing unique grounding for a collaborative industry. Graduates will be highly-skilled and uniquely poised to pursue or accelerate an exciting career in low-carbon and sustainable design within today-s interdisciplinary construction industry.
Career Opportunities: Sustainable Building Design is a fast-growing and critical component of the construction sector locally and globally. Graduates with skills in sustainable design are sought after by large and small employers, designers, consultants, contractors and clients, for their ability to integrate sustainable and low-carbon approaches within building design. Our graduates are well-equipped to make design decisions, which meet the needs of building users today, but also preserve resources for future generation. Flexible study optionsThis programme can be studied full-time, part-time or via Independent Distance Learning (IDL), ideal for those in employment or with other commitments, providing flexible study options that fit around work or family. As an IDL student you will not be required to attend any lectures, tutorials or other events at any of Heriot-Watt University-s campuses.
