The Sustainable Energy programme will advance students’ knowledge in efficiency techniques, sustainable energy technologies and energy management systems and strategies.
The aims of this course are to promote an understanding of environmental science, and the capability to apply that knowledge to current environmental issues and sound environmental management; to develop the necessary intellectual skills and practical expertise to design and execute independent research; and to cultivate skilled communicators able to organise ideas and disseminate them through written and oral presentations.
This degree blends traditional practical skills including carpentry and joinery, with modern construction approaches, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Lean Construction.
Students learn how to plan, organise and control construction operations and gain knowledge in all stages of the process; from initial feasibility studies through to design, construction, maintenance, refurbishmenty and demolition.
