Course Summary

This is a practical, industry-led course, which is suitable for anyone already working in the construction industry, as well as for new students. You’ll have the opportunity to follow one of three routes, depending on what direction you want your career to take. These are civil engineering, construction management and civil engineering surveying. Once you’ve completed the course successfully, you’ll be able to progress onto the final year of one of our honours degrees to obtain a BSc if you wish. These degrees are Civil Engineering, Construction Management or Civil Engineering and Surveying. If you’re already in employment, you’ll spend four days a week in industry, while full-time students will undertake a work placement of up to four days a week in their final year. Whatever path you take, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to become a first-class construction manager or engineer.
