Environmental Architecture Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

The BSc (Hons) in Environmental Architecture combines design creativity with advanced expertise in sustainable practice and environmental analysis. Sharing its academic ethos with the GSA’s ARB/RIBA-accredited Architecture degree, the programme focuses on how buildings perform environmentally, materially, and experientially.

Students use environmental data and simulation to inform design, testing architectural ideas for energy performance, climate adaptation, and regenerative potential. Studio projects are supported by workshops in energy modelling, daylight analysis and lifecycle assessment, ensuring that environmental evaluation is integral to the design process.

Rooted in the Mackintosh School of Architecture’s strengths in sustainable design, the programme positions technology as a creative driver for low-carbon, adaptive architecture. Graduates emerge as agile, socially responsible designers with the technical and conceptual skills to lead change in the built environment.

All degree programmes are validated by the University of Glasgow.
