Overview

This Architecture and the Sustainable Environment programme from University of Kent ranges from the development of the design skills and the technical and scientific understanding required to develop sustainable solutions for new and existing buildings, the analysis of historic buildings and past environment technologies, to a critical exploration of the historical and cultural context of sustainability and environmental design.

Your future

This course gives you the knowledge, skills, and professional networks you need to launch a successful career in the sustainable built environment. You’ll be well-prepared for roles in both industry and research, with opportunities spanning architecture, environmental consultancy, sustainable design, and urban planning.

Our focus is on professional development, which is embedded in both classroom learning and real-world projects. You’ll engage with live projects, collaborate with industry professionals, and build strong networks that extend beyond university. Modules integrate fieldwork, placements, and practical assignments, giving you the hands-on experience employers are looking for.

Throughout the programme, you gain exposure to key industry players through guest lectures, workshops, and employer networking events, all of which contribute to your professional growth. End-of-year shows, and employer days provide platforms for you to show off your best work to the public and potential employers, demonstrating your skills and insight.
