Building Science

This four-year Bachelor of Building Science degree prepares graduates for opportunities in the construction industry and related fields that support and implement ongoing research and development related to building materials and building systems. Using a holistic approach, students develop an appreciation of buildings as a set of interconnected systems that can be built, modified, and adapted to meet requirements for functionality, energy consumption and human comfort. Opportunities for applied and hands-on experiences with building materials, components and systems are woven through many of the courses. Students focus on the necessary fundamentals in mathematics and science while experiencing the practical applications within the discipline of building science. A sound grasp of underlying scientific principles enables students to integrate a balance of theoretical and practical knowledge in a relevant fashion for existing and emerging real-world problems.There is a 2 year bridging program available, as well as a 3 year bridging program.
