The BSc (Hons) Construction Management degree is an ideal qualification for those who are motivated by seeing their hard work rewarded and their expertise recognised within a vibrant and challenging construction industry.

The Construction Industry is one of the largest employment sectors in the United Kingdom and requires a constant supply of construction managers to run building and civil engineering projects of all descriptions; large, small, straight-forward and complex.

Whether you have identified construction management as an area of interest, or you have worked in the construction sector previously, this course will extend your knowledge and reinforce your understanding of how projects are created, managed, constructed and operated upon completion.

Whilst many construction managers are engaged in the construction of new development projects, many others are responsible for the management of heritage and refurbishment projects; often sensitive in nature because of historical or architectural significance, or the traditional quality of the existing fabric. A career in construction management can therefore be as diverse or as specialist as you want it to be in pursuing your own personal goals and ambitions.

Key Course Features:

Further opportunities to directly engage with industry through conferences, guest lectures and visits to live construction projects to observe site operations in practice

Wide-ranging industry-standard digital resources available for use on- and off-campus

Lectures are delivered in consecutive blocks as far as possible, to ensure flexible study time away from University.

A variety of teaching and learning methods are used to ensure that technical content is applied to typical construction scenarios

The Built Environment subject area is part of the Faculty of Art, Computing and Engineering (FACE) and therefore content benefits from association with arts, computing, engineering and renewable energy subject disciplines.

If you are employed within the construction sector and intend to study on a part-time basis, please contact the Programme Leader Dr Gareth Carr as funding might well be available through schemes administered by sector skills organisations.
