Buildings are the world’s greatest energy users. We need architectural environment engineers to work at the forefront of creating a global low carbon future.
This course gives you the knowledge and skills to work alongside architects, influencing design of sustainable, smart buildings as well as structures like stadiums, water parks and indoor ski-slopes. You’ll learn all about renewable energy generation, smart controls, thermal comfort, acoustics and lighting design.
You’ll become an engineer that can make a difference – sharing your knowledge to improve global building performance and services.
Set within our mini-campus on University Park, you will have access to excellent facilities to support your studies and research. These include dedicated studio spaces, workshops and research labs equipped with the latest renewable energy technologies.
This degree has three taught years meaning that you will only need to complete an additional year of further study if you want to become a chartered engineer. For some students, especially international students, the preferred route is to do our BEng course and then stay on to complete an MSc degree.

Modules
Year 1
Year 2
Your knowledge and competencies in environmental design and building services systems are further developed in year two. Engineering design forms the main core of the year with specialised subjects such as environmental performance modelling, acoustics, lighting and management feeding into the design process. The built environment in its wider context is considered in the study of renewable energy systems.
Year 3
A final year engineering design module provides the opportunity to deliver a project with a stronger emphasis on building analysis, advanced environmental design and environmental performance modelling. This project is used to develop your skills and ability in utilising appropriate aspects of the material covered in years one, two and three, and to consider in more detail the holistic design of a building, its internal environment and the systems necessary to achieve a sustainable building.
Strong links with UK and international companies offer our graduates excellent prospects for employment, research training and professional recognition. This course involves the use of modern and environmentally friendly technologies to create comfortable and efficient indoor environments. Typically employed within Consulting Engineer practices, graduates in this field apply their skills to design occupant focused, energy efficient buildings incorporating renewable energy, sustainable design, ventilation, lighting, acoustics and electrical/control systems.
Our graduates work for a range of companies including global engineering and construction firms such as Atkins, Arup and Laing O’Rourke to smaller national and regional consultancies such as Pick Everard, Preston Barber and Long & Partners.
