This module advises, guides, and develops necessary skills for identifying and applying appropriate research methods, and devising an overall comprehensive research plan. The learning process includes identifying, evaluating, and applying different research philosophies, approaches, and strategies, as well as methods of data collection and data analysis.

This module enhances knowledge regarding the importance of health and safety in the design of a new building and how corrective measures can be applied to existing constructions.

During this module, the design principles, methodologies, and techniques involved in the design of energy-efficient architecture are critically evaluated, whether it concerns new construction or the renovation of buildings. Additionally, significant issues relating to climate change and energy use in the built environment are examined.

This module evaluates how actions, decisions and leadership at a professional level interact with the society in which a professional works and they influence the environmental risk and the planet’s sustainable future. Starting with a holistic approach of how the environmental pressures are created by the development of technologies, the unit follows a systemic approach regarding how the responsibility for sustainability does not always fall solely on decision-makers.

During this module, managerial skills related to working in a global industrial environment are developed. Strategic concepts are studied, and learning takes place regarding how these concepts are transferred to different industries or specializations. Students focus on managing the future on a global scale, analyzing, and predicting based on data and financial analyses, while also considering business ethics.

This module provides theoretical and practical study of sustainable building analysis in relation to a design proposal, linked with its climate and location. Students examine significant issues related to climate change and energy use in the built environment.

One of the most important remits of sustainable construction is to reduce energy consumption based on fossil fuels. This unit evaluates the principles, methods and techniques involved in selecting and determining methods and materials for sustainable construction.

This module is the best option for students with a background in architectural technology. Students analyze issues related to sustainability and associated with key players and systems in regeneration as well as new research and developments in the design of the built environment.

In this module, students will have the opportunity to use and enhance their knowledge and intellectual skills they have gained during their studies through extensive research related to the course material. This can take the form of a dissertation, a research-based technical design and development project, or the exhibition of creative design artwork.
