Introduces tall buildings as a strategy for urban sustainability for the 21st C. It explores advanced concepts of urban and social living, smart structures and systems, construction, and bioclimatic design for tall and super-tall inhabitable skyscrapers. This is the first such course in the world. Course Director: Mr David Nicholson-Cole
Provides training in integrated environmental design in architecture and builds on a project based approach where technical and theoretical knowledge is well integrated. Aimed to practitioners in architecture and building industry in general. Course director: Mr Benson Lau
Understands the complex relationship between spatial and design issues and social and economic urban processes. Addresses urban design as research and practice that shapes urban environments and responds to urban problems. Course director: Dr Katharina Borsi
Focuses on the role of technology in contemporary architecture; it explores integrated environmental strategies and the latest advances in materials including digital fabrication, contributing to the design of zero carbon architecture. Course director: Prof Michael Stacey
Explores the potential contribution to the design process of an advanced theoretical input, drawing upon knowledge from other disciplines and introducing a range of critical techniques from outside the traditional domain of architecture. Course director: Dr Laura Hanks
Interdisciplinary programme that focuses on the interface between architectural theory and contemporary philosophy / cultural studies. Course director: Dr Jonathan Hale
This practice-based course leading to the ARB/RIBA Part 3 qualification is the final step towards registration as an architect in the UK. ARB/RIBA rules prescribe a minimum of 24 months of supervised relevant practical training, which must be completed before sitting the final examination. The examination is normally held on one occasion during the year, usually early November.
Tailored towards graduates of building services, architectural environmental engineering and other related disciplines. Focuses on the successful integration of renewable and sustainable energy technologies into buildings. Course director: Dr Siddig Omer
Examines the integration of passive and active renewable energy systems into the fabric of buildings. Students are introduced to the use of simulation techniques and laboratory/ engineering methods for analysing environmental performance. Course director: Dr Mohamed Gadi
Provides students with advanced skills in Renewable Energy Technology and Business. Graduates from the course will be well placed to pursue careers in renewable energy technology industries. Course director: Dr Yuehong Su
Strong emphasis within the context of renewable & sustainable energy technologies in the built environment. Provides effective management skills and an understanding of the current policies and regulations widely applicable. Course director: Dr Matthew Hall
