BSc (Hons) Construction Management
On this course, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of the principles of construction management. As well as building design and the sequential construction of building elements, you’ll learn about the efficient project management of domestic and non-domestic buildings, including skyscrapers and large-scale sports infrastructure facilities.
We’ll help you to develop the essential skills needed for effective onsite project management, covering aspects of planning, how to execute the construction process, budget management, project expenses and construction safety management.
You’ll consider the variety of factors that can delay a project and learn how to manage and mitigate them, including communicating with clients, negotiating delays, monitoring quality through improved workmanship on large-scale projects and management of contracting packages.
As your studies progress, you’ll explore broader agendas in the construction sector, e.g. sustainability concerning energy-efficient detailing and functional optimisation of the structural performance of buildings. You’ll also study law and economics for the built environment.
The theory you learn in lectures will be supported by practical experience and activities, including field trips and site visits so you can apply your learning to real-world settings.
