About this programme

Master of Engineering Full-time/Part-time School of Construction and the Environment The Master of Engineering in Building Science degree is designed to provide students from various engineering disciplines with advanced knowledge and skills to achieve a holistic understanding of building performance through a core course component, which is composed of a fundamental technical cluster, and an applied technical cluster. Students will gain in-depth knowledge of a specialty area through focused elective technical courses or a supervised research project. MEng students are required to select one of two pathways for the completion of the program. Students take 10 courses: 4 core courses and 6 elective courses. For this path the Research Methods course is optional. Except for the core fundamental courses, all other courses include a research component. Students take 7 courses plus Research Methods, and a comprehensive industry/research project. Students engage in applied research on a relevant industry problem under the supervision of a faculty member. There is funding available on a competitive basis to graduate students. Please see the list of faculty members for their research interests and then contact the faculty individually if you would like more information.
