The science and art of designing a built environment is a multi-disciplinary and rigorous profession. Architecture brings together humanities and the arts, technology, sciences and environmental awareness. It has an influence on every way a human environment is designed, planned, built, used, and maintained.


Architects, through their work, have the power to affect how we feel, how we operate and how safe we are inside and outside our buildings. They also have an effect on our environment, on the wind, light, noise levels, views and ecology of places.

Thanks to building science, workplaces, homes, public buildings and commercial buildings can be made healthier, drier and warmer, with reduced impact on natural eco-systems.

During their studies, students working towards building science careers develop an extremely marketable set of skills which include:

  • Critical and creative thinking
  • Professional and technical knowledge
  • Teamwork, communication and leadership
