Are you ready to join a new generation of sustainability experts helping to make our buildings, towns and cities more sustainable, healthier places to live? In the face of the climate crisis, we need a sustainable built environment that is both climate-resilient and resource-efficient. This solution-oriented degree combines multiple aspects of sustainability, from social and environmental science to resource economics and engineering, giving you the skills to take decisive climate action and build a sustainable future. 

During your degree you will: 

  • Learn social, environmental and economic theories to address climate change, achieve net-zero emissions, and improve health and wellbeing in the built environment. 
  • Get hands-on experience overcoming real sustainability issues through sustainable buildings and sustainable cities challenges. Read about the inaugural challenge. 
  • Gain skills in data analysis, modelling and decision-making processes to design, construct, and operate sustainable buildings, neighbourhoods and cities. 
  • Use digital tools to find creative, sustainable solutions. 
  • Learn essential maths and statistics for sustainability, learning through real examples and with additional support provided.  
  • Have the chance to attend sustainability events, building experience for your future career. Read about Maria’s experience at the British Institute of Energy Economics Conference. 

Depending on your ambitions, you can take the course as either a BSc (Hons) or an MEng.  

  • Students on the three-year BSc (Hons) gain the skills to embed sustainability across the built environment, preparing for careers in various sustainability sectors. 
  • Students on the four-year MEng route are seeking to become sustainability engineers. They gain the same skills and knowledge as BSc students, while taking additional engineering-focused modules. 

If you’re unsure which pathway is right for you, you can apply to switch routes up until the end of your second year. To do this you will need to successfully pass your first-year modules.
