About the program
The Green Building Program is based on the belief, that to reach zero carbon in the design and building industry, the materials and methods used must be adapted. CAT’s unique on-site study experience combines hands-on practical learning with in-depth academic study, so it will allow students to learn about and experience sustainable building methods and materials. Through this course, students will also acquire a rigorous understanding of the social, practical, political, economic and environmental aspects of green building and construction.
Students can decide whether they want to study a module on-site or via distance learning. Full-time study at MSc level will allow students to complete the course in 18 months. Part-time study at MSc level will be completed in recommended three years. Post-graduate diploma or post-graduate certificate can be obtained in compressed studies.
