MSc Building Services Engineering
 |
Programme Structure
The programme can be taken as a one-year full-time programme or part-time over two to five years. Modules are taught in one week blocks; student learning is supplemented by self study and project work in the periods between taught elements. The programme has eight 15 credit taught modules and a 60 credit individual research project; a total of 180 credits being required for an MSc.
The modules fall into three categories, the design and operation of building services systems, advanced design methods, and the research project. The 15 credit taught modules are spread between the two semesters, with the 60 credit research project spanning both semesters and the summer period.
