Study Details: PGCert 1 year part-time
The global environmental and energy challenge facing current and future generations of architects and building professionals calls for a deeper understanding of the principles of environmental design, and their effective application into architectural practice worldwide.
This course allows building professionals and practicing architects who are interested in a condensed and part-time opportunity to update their knowledge and skills, to learn about principles of building physics and apply new methodologies for informed design decisions. These are based on a new paradigm of environmental architecture, which is environmentally and energy conscious, yet sensitive to the contextual and socio-cultural landscape we live in. You’ll learn environmental design methods which relate to the various stages of architectural design for a healthier and less energy and carbon-intensive built environment.

Applicants with qualifications in other subject areas which may be relevant to the award are encouraged to apply, each case being considered on merit. You will need a portfolio of work, or a comprehensive written account of relevant experience, and a personal statement which clearly articulates why you wish to study for the award.
