Programme Leader - MSc Architecture: Advanced Environmental and Energy Studies by Distance Learning

The primary role of the Programme Leader is to foster the conditions and practice that promote high standards of academic quality and maintain these through the effective management of the programme.

This is an exciting opportunity in one of the UK’s largest, most vibrant Master’s programmes: our students bring a wonderful range of backgrounds and experience, with much enthusiasm and commitment.

The curriculum of the MSc Architecture, Advanced Environmental and Energy Studies by Distance Learning, which began in September 2008, is broadly equivalent to that of the long-established MSc: Architecture AEES, in which modules are delivered by student attendance at CAT for five days each month. Both courses are validated programmes of the University of East London.

The January 2008 external examiner’s report stated: “On the evidence presented to me, the course maintains its reputation as one of the best Masters courses in the environmental field. The staff team is to be congratulated on providing a course which is both rigorous and clearly inspirational.”

The GSE also hosts an MSc in Renewable Energy in the Built Environment, a Part 2 Professional Diploma in Architecture, and a programme of Professional Doctorates and PhD’s.

You will be taking part in teaching, developing, and expanding a unique course which aims to make full use of the Virtual Learning Environment, (VLE) ‘UEL Plus’ [based on the Blackboard’ system].

The ethos of the course, and of the team running it, combines the traditional ethos of high academic standards with that of CAT: respectfulness, openness, solidarity.
