Engineers (CIBSE) in 2006. The
programme is offered within the
PolyU’s Faculty of Construction
& Land Use (FCLU), adding
further opportunity for subject
selection. Subjects offered
within the MSc/PgD in BSE range
from core knowledge in
electrical installations, HVAC
and fire safety engineering. The
programme also offers a wide
selection of innovative elective
subjects such as building energy
simulation, sustainable
buildings in the built
environment and engineering
intelligent buildings. Students
are encouraged to select
subjects that provide the
greatest opportunity for their

the industry.
The
PolyU Building Services
