London Metropolitan University now offers a Masters in Timber Technology


The Cass at London Metropolitan University is launching the capital’s first postgraduate [program] in Timber Technology. This will address key skills shortages in the architecture and construction sectors, stimulate economic growth, and respond to the growing demand for sustainable building.

According to World Architecture News, England requires an estimated 240,000-340,000 new homes per year in order to tackle its housing shortage. In recent research, timber has been identified as a potential solution due to its wide availability and carbon negative construction ability.
