BSc (Hons) Construction Management with Foundation year

Course Overview

In collaboration with the University of Wolverhampton, UK Management College is thrilled to offer a BSc (Hons) Construction Management with Foundation Year.

The aim of this specialist course is to prepare graduates for their initial and continued employment in the discipline of Construction Management within the Built Environment. Thus the course will; address the construction industry’s demands for graduates who can apply the principles of construction management to construction projects. enable students to pursue professional careers in construction at a level which requires the exercise of judgement, initiative and the ability to make informed construction management decisions that reflect a responsible ethical and sustainable outlook.

equip students with a detailed understanding of the key principles of construction management, underpinned with knowledge of construction technology, law, business and finance, enabling the application of these areas to construction projects. require students to participate in group projects where other team members are drawn from a range of cognate construction disciplines.

develop the ability to investigate, research and report into familiar and unfamiliar subject areas, thereby enhancing the student’s ability to evaluate and critique construction management principles. provide the opportunity to apply the construction knowledge and skills already gained in an appropriate industrial environment, thereby broadening the student’s skills and knowledge of construction management and construction multi-disciplinary procedures and practices.
