BSc (Hons.) Architecture And Environmental Design

The Architecture and Environmental Design BSc Honours course is offered at Westminster University. It is an inventive course that broadly addresses issues of climate change and carbon emissions associated with the built environment, integrating sustainable architectural design with technical proficiency. The course encourages students to apply technological and scientific knowledge to the design of architecturally sustainable environments.Course Content: The Architecture and Environmental Design BSc Honours aims to equip students with professional competence in building environment, energy saving building technologies and environmental design. The students will learn about climatic influences on design, the principles of building physics, simulation tools for thermal and hygrometric design, fluid mechanics applied to the built environment, principals of light and acoustics design, and building structures and materials.Key Modules: The key modules in this course include Environmental Principles in Architecture, Low Energy Architectural Design, Sustainable Cities, Environmental Effect in Detail Learning, Fluid Mechanics and Computational Simulations for Buildings, and Exploring Light, Acoustic and Thermal Comfort in Environmental Design.Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the Energy Institute. Upon completion, a student becomes eligible to gain professional membership of various accreditation bodies.Future Careers: The knowledge and skills gained from this course enable graduates to work in architectural practice and a range of multidisciplinary environments worldwide. These include architectural technology, energy managers in architectural or engineering organizations, environmental systems designers, building services engineers, environmental officers, environmental researchers and academics, and architectural or environmental consulting.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
