BEng in Architectural Environmental Engineering
The full-time four-year degree course in Architectural Environment Engineering is taught by staff from the Centre and the Department of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Nottingham.
Focusing on the design of energy efficient buildings incorporating renewable energy, green architecture, ventilation, thermal insulation, acoustics, lighting and electrical/control systems. Teaching is carried out through lectures, seminars, laboratories and project work. Assessment is based on formal examination and various types of coursework: laboratory reports, computing assignments, individual and group project work and verbal presentations.
The programme requires students to stay in China for 2 years and in the UK for the other 2 years.
MSc Renewable Energy and Architecture
The full-time MSc Renewable Energy and Architecture course is structured to accommodate the interests of both architectural students and students from an engineering or scientific background. The course addresses such issues as sustainable building design and construction, energy use and global warming, new and renewable energy technologies, novel materials and their influence on buildings and occupant comfort. Architectural students have the opportunity to explore these in design based studio modules, while engineering students pursue technical based modules. By taking a multi-disciplinary approach to teaching the subject, the course aims to engender greater understanding and respect between two key disciplines.
This programme requires students to stay in the UK for 8 months (Autumn and Spring semester) and in China for 4 months (Summer semester).
MSc Energy Conversion and Management
The full-time MSc in Energy Conversion and Management is taught by academic staff from the Centre and Department of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Nottingham. The course is designed to provide a high level of engineering and technical Research-informed teaching constitutes an important part of the course along with the associated close links with industry. Teaching is carried out through lectures, seminars, laboratories and research project work. Assessment is mainly based on formal examination and various types of coursework: laboratory reports, computing assignments, individual and group project work and verbal presentations. The assessment concludes with an individual piece of research presented in the form of a final dissertation during the summer period.
This programme requires students to stay in the UK for 8 months (Autumn and Spring semester) and in China for 4 months (Summer semester).
MSc Sustainable Building Technology
The full-time 1 year MSc award in Sustainable Building Technology is taught by academic staff from the Centre and Department of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Nottingham. This one year full-time courses has a modular structure during which candidates must collect a total 180 credits in order to obtain a Master of Science (MSc) degree. 120 credits of taught modules will be studied at the School of Built Environment (Nottingham University Park Campus UK), and a 60 credit dissertation research project will be completed at the Centre for Sustainable Energy Technologies (Nottingham University Ningbo Campus, China)
This programme requires students to stay in the UK for 8 months (Autumn and Spring semester) and in China for 4 months (Summer semester).
PhD Programme in Sustainable Energy/Building Technologies
The aim is to set up a PhD programme in Sustainable Energy/Building Technologies at Centre for Sustainable Energy Technology (CSET), Ningbo Nottingham University, China. The PhD programme would allow the pooling of additional expertise and resources available at the CSET to enable training of students in the field of sustainable/building technologies.
The PhD programme requires candidates to carry out research projects at the CSET jointly with Department of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Nottingham. The candidates have no requirement for taught courses but may wish to attend some of the modules given by the CSET. In this PhD programme, the candidates at the CSET will register for full-time PhD degree at University of Nottingham.
The minimum duration of PhD programme is 3 years. Candidates are required to spend 1.5 years at Nottingham and 1.5 year at Ningbo. The students will be jointly supervised by staff from the Department of Architecture and Built Environment and the CSET.
