The cost of studying at University of Salford varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £16,380 annually, to study in University of Salford.

With global government commitments to achieving net zero, there is growing demand from the construction industry for specialists with the knowledge and skills to develop and deliver sustainability and carbon and energy efficiency in new and existing buildings.

We've designed this course to prepare you for immediate and future challenges related to the sustainability of new and existing buildings. As a course graduate, you will be ready to apply for relevant roles in a range of fields, including sustainable building design, energy efficiency modelling, building retrofitting, performance gap analysis, whole life carbon assessments, and life cycle costing.

Career opportunities are likely to emerge in both public and private sector environments. Employers will include surveying, architectural and multidisciplinary professional practices, construction/retrofitting/demolition companies, housing associations, facilities management services, plus consultancies who focus on building sustainability.
