BSc Construction Management

This course gets students ready for important management roles in the building industry. Students will learn how to lead construction projects from the very beginning to the end, making sure they are done safely, on time, within budget, and to a good quality. The programme also looks at how building affects the environment and teaches ways to build that protect our planet.

The teaching matches what is needed in the construction world. Students will cover the legal, technical, and money sides of building projects, as well as management, social, and environmental aspects. Students will learn to manage both business and large engineering projects. There's an option for a Professional Placement Year too, which helps you get real-world experience and make good connections in the industry.
