Building Services Engineering MSc at Brunel University of London

Building services engineers are involved with virtually every aspect of a building’s interior environment. They design, install and maintain electrical and mechanical services - heating, cooling, lighting, water, lifts, and telecoms - and advise on issues of health and safety, security, sustainability and energy efficiency. In short, they help buildings work, whether for residential, educational, commercial, industrial or cultural purposes.
