Project Management for Construction

Designed to respond to concerns that many of the problems of the construction industry result from a lack of good management, this BSc equips you with the tools necessary to manage the changing nature of the industry, with an emphasis on the development of analytical and managerial skills.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Focusing on the project management of capital projects, this programme develops your understanding of the construction development process, from clients developing their requirements, through the design, procurement and construction stages, to the final occupation and maintenance of the new facilities. You will learn about construction from the perspective of the contractor and from the perspective of clients, funders, and designers.
The programme addresses the design and technology of buildings and the management of the construction process through four main subject themes: management; technology; construction production process; and business environment.

Site visits and field trips provide an opportunity to observe construction within and outside the UK.
