- enable students to pursue professional careers in construction at a level which requires the exercise of judgement, initiative, and the ability to make informed construction management decisions that reflect a responsible ethical and sustainable outlook
- equip students with a detailed understanding of the key principles of construction management, underpinned with knowledge of construction technology, law, business and finance, enabling the application of these areas to construction projects
- require students to participate in group projects where other team members are drawn from a range of cognate construction disciplines
- develop the ability to investigate, research and report into familiar and unfamiliar subject areas, thereby enhancing the student’s ability to evaluate and critique construction management principles; and provide the opportunity to apply the construction knowledge and skills already gained in an appropriate industrial environment, thereby broadening the student’s skills and knowledge of construction management and construction multi-disciplinary procedures and practices.
Course Modules
Potential Career Paths
The course prepares students to take on a series of roles and responsibilities in a contemporary construction team such as project management, contracts management, estimating, site engineering, cost engineering and programme management and paves the way for further study at postgraduate level. Upon completion of the Construction management award further higher education opportunities also exist, typically in the area of construction project management or construction law.
