This course looks at how renewable and sustainable energy technologies can create environmentally friendly buildings.

Overview

The Institute of Sustainable Energy Technology (ISET) currently offers this MSc course in collaboration with the following eight universities:

• Harbin Institute of Technology
• Xian Jiaotong University
• Donghua University
• Xian University of Architecture and Technology
• Shandong University of Architecture
• Southeast University
• Kyung Hee University, Korea
• Physical Environment Centre of Khartoum (PECK)

MSc Sustainable Building Technology is specifically tailored towards graduates in building services, architectural environmental engineering, architecture and other related disciplines.

The strong emphasis is targeted to successful integration of renewable and sustainable energy technologies into buildings, which requires an understanding of both design and technology and hence the close co-operation of architecture and engineering.

The course is designed to allow discussion and exchange of information between different disciplines and encourages novel and imaginative solutions to the challenge of producing environmentally friendly buildings.

Accreditation

The course is accredited by the Engineering Council through the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE).

Careers

Many graduates of this MSc programme have been rewarded for their innovative ideas and contribution to real energy projects, for example the prestigious National Energy Award for work on a large-scale solar project in Mexico. Graduates have entered both academia and industry in the UK and overseas.

The MSc course develops a practical and theoretical understanding and therefore enables graduates to work with architectural or engineering firms, move into teaching at university level, or undertake research leading to a PhD.

The acquisition of a masters degree from the University of Nottingham demonstrates a high level of knowledge in a specific field. Whether you are using it to enhance your employability, as preparation for further academic research or as a means of vocational training, you may benefit from careers advice as to how you can use your new found skills to their full potential.
