The course's primary focus is on project management, which will give you the chance to take your career forward in any industry, not just in construction. We teach the principles of project management - the distinct discipline of working to agreed deadlines, starts and finishes on a given project project - with an awareness of the global challenges facing the industry, not least the need to make construction sustainable. WHAT'S INVOLVED Through guest lecturers, case studies and optional site visits, you'll get an insight into how industrial companies work. Our graduates have been well received by local, national and international companies. This course is subject to renewal approval by DfE.
