The Architecture and Environmental Design BSc Honours at the University of Westminster equips you to address the urgent need for sustainable and responsible built environments. This course is for you if you are passionate about the intersection of architectural creativity and environmental science, seeking to understand how buildings impact our planet and how design can offer solutions. You will explore the principles of environmental design, architectural design, and develop essential quantification and evidence-informed skills to critically evaluate and create high-performance, sustainable spaces.
This full-time, on-campus degree, studied over three years, balances studio-based design activities with in-depth studies in bioclimatic principles, architectural history, and professional practice. You will progress from understanding individual spaces in Year 1 to designing for wider contexts in Year 2, focusing on areas like material studies and zero-plus energy buildings. In your final year, you will undertake a substantial thesis project, involving the design and testing of prototypes, preparing you to use advanced building performance tools and step confidently into professional roles in architectural and environmental design consultancy.
