About this programme
This one-year, full-time top-up route lets students who hold a Higher National Diploma (HND) or an equivalent qualification in Building Services Engineering complete a BEng (Hons) degree. Students take third-year modules from LSBU's Building Services Engineering BEng (Hons) programme -- a major project, passive building design, and energy management and controls -- plus two specialist electives from either an electrical route (electrical power systems and distribution; lighting and electrical systems) or a mechanical route (heat and mass transfer applications; thermal energy systems).
