Program Description

The master in Building Services Engineering (MSc) gives graduates with engineering or technology backgrounds the technical, design, and management skills they need to excel in this lucrative and multi-faceted profession.

In the master in Building Services Engineering (MSc), you'll get a solid grounding in core subjects of heat transfer, energy conversion, acoustics, electrical services, and lighting design as well as in the practicalities of building management, fire and smoke control, waste disposal, and lifts and escalators.

Additionally, as there is a growing demand for a new generation of environmentally responsible buildings, you’ll also examine energy efficiency and sustainable design.

This master in Building Services Engineering (MSc) is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), and the Energy Institute (EI), which means your degree will put you on a course to gain a Chartered Engineer (CEng) status in the UK.
