BSc Construction Management

About this course

Construction management is the discipline concerned with planning, coordinating, and delivering construction projects on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. It sits between the technical world of building and engineering and the commercial and organisational world of project management, asking how complex construction processes, involving contractors, subcontractors, clients, designers, and regulators, can be led effectively from inception to completion. The built environment is fundamental to how we live and work, and the construction industry depends on managers who can bring together technical knowledge, commercial acumen, and leadership capability. The New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering offers this programme with a distinctive identity, reflecting the institution's focus on applied technical education and its connections with industry and professional practice. You will study the principles of project management, construction technology, contract law, health and safety, cost management, procurement, and sustainability in the built environment, developing a broad understanding of how construction projects are organised and delivered. The programme is designed with professional relevance at its core, and the teaching is informed by current industry practice and by the expertise of academic staff with professional backgrounds in construction. Construction management graduates are in strong demand across the construction sector and the wider built environment industry. Roles in site management, project management, quantity surveying, contract management, and development management are among the most common graduate destinations. The construction industry in the UK is facing significant skills shortages, and graduates with a solid combination of technical knowledge and management capability are particularly sought after. Many graduates go on to achieve chartered status with professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Building, the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors, or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Postgraduate study in construction management, project management, or quantity surveying is available for those who want to develop specialist expertise or pursue research.
