This course is designed to give professional engineers the technical, business and leadership skills they need to further their careers in the building services engineering sector.
Along with exploring the latest technological developments in the core subjects of heat transfer, energy conversion, electrical services, lighting design and health and safety, you’ll get a solid grounding in management essentials such as business operations and strategy, finance and accounting, facilities and contract management, and people management.
The course is taught as a distance learning programme over 3 years, which enables you to carry on working while building new skills in your own time and at your own pace.
This degree is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the Energy Institute (EI), which means that obtaining it will put you on course to gain Chartered Engineer (CEng) status in the UK.
