Construction Management

The construction industry is one of the most dynamic, diverse and significant in the world. On this course, you’ll develop the skills, knowledge and understanding of the technology and management involved in its creation. You’ll focus on the key stages and processes of planning, construction and maintenance – ranging from building design and technology to resource management and project administration.

You’ll learn about regulatory, legal and economic frameworks, the latest thinking in sustainability, and developments in digital technologies and Building Information Modelling (BIM). Practical experience comes in the form of site visits, guest lectures, live briefs set by our industry partners and our annual bridge construction project.

A degree in construction management can lead to a number of careers, including working as a construction project manager or construction site manager for contractors or construction clients. Key to these roles is the ability to ensure that construction projects are completed on time, within budget, to the correct quality standards, healthily and safely, and with due recognition of wider sustainability and environmental issues.
