Construction and building

Designed with a shared first year across all our building and construction courses, you will cover key aspects of the industry before exploring aspects of your chosen subject in more depth.

With a focus on interdisciplinary learning, you will work in teams with students from related courses on projects that mirror the real working environment.

Build practical experience through design projects, surveying and case studies alongside field trips, surveys and lab work using our specialist facilities.

The optional professional placement year is a great opportunity to consolidate learning and build experience and a network of professional contacts.

Our students have been on placement in organisations including: Morgan Sindall, Osborne, Savells, ARCH angels Architects, RG Group, Kier, Wilmott Dixon, Osbourne, Mace, Buro4 and HOP Consulting.

Gain a professional advantage with the opportunity to learn Building Information Modelling (BIM) levels 1 and 2.

BIM is widely used in the UK construction industry to manage and deliver building and construction projects from concept to completion.
