YEAR 1 (FOUNDATION YEAR) In the Foundation Year you will study learning styles and methods, show your awareness of current affairs and reinforce your ability to work with quantities and materials. Other modules will introduce sketching and drawing, awareness of the built and natural environment and group work on projects relating to the built environment. You will be expected to attend lectures on two days each week and then do your reading and assignment writing on other days. Each of two semesters will have up to 14 weeks of teaching. MODULES Graphical Communication Number in the Built Environment Sustainability and the Environment Built Environment Project The Skills You Need Contextual Studies YEAR 2 (LEVEL 4) The first year (level 4) modules (eg Academic & Professional Development, Sustainable Development, Site Appraisal) comprise a set of building blocks that introduce students to the range of subject knowledge and practical skills required throughout the programme. Subjects are approached from a perspective of practical problem solving (Construction Technology 1, Built Environment Law) underpinned by theoretical understanding of professional knowledge. Skills development is not confined within modular parameters and students are expected, progressively, to participate in their own learning. MODULES Site Appraisal Domestic Building Construction Sustainable Development Built Environment Law Academic and Personal Development Building Information YEAR 3 (LEVEL 5) In the second year (level 5) modules cover subjects of a more complex and specialist nature (eg Development Management, Construction Management, Planning and Building Control) involving appraisal of practical situations, more complex options and policy analysis. These require students to prepare for lectures and seminars and are backed up by research skills and professional development modules that assist in linking and aiding coherence across the programme. MODULES Commercial Building Technology Construction Materials Planning and Building Control Development Management Research Proposal Construction Site Management YEAR 4 (LEVEL 6) The final year (level 6) brings students into a range of challenging opportunities that enables them to demonstrate their achievement in variable option analysis and assessment (eg Project Management), creative thinking, teamwork and leadership skills (eg Inter-Professional Studies), independent learning, critical analysis and synthesis skills (Dissertation), and cognate professional knowledge (eg Construction Technology 3, Health and Safety). MODULES Modern Methods of Construction Dissertation Building Information Modelling (BIM) Health and Safety Management Inter-Professional Studies The information listed in this section is an overview of the academic content of the programme that will take the form of either core or option modules. Modules are designated as core or option in accordance with professional body requirements and internal academic framework review, so may be subject to change.

Foundation year assessment will be by a variety of methods including presentations, portfolio of observations, worksheets and written work. The Glyndwr Virtual Learning Environment will support your learning and will be a repository of learning materials. Assessment strategies tend to be module based but with integrated themes wherever practicable. Jointly taught modules are organised so that students are assessed within the context of their individual programme of study. Assessment materials (assignment briefs etc.) are prepared to meet the needs of the Module and presented to students at interactive briefing sessions. Submitted elements and complete work is assessed and feedback provided to students. At regular tutorials and seminars group and individual progress is discussed as part of the strategy of on-going feedback during the course. Other features of assessment practice reflect development of professional and subject skills often using scenario based simulated work experience situations led by design projects requiring creative solutions and including reports that are presented or discussed individually with the ‘clients’. Traditional exams do not feature as a form of assessment. Forms of assessment that feature widely across the programme include essays, report writing, formal individual / group presentations, seminar presentations, scenario based time controlled tasks, practical tasks and individual research carried out in preparation for case study review and analysis.
