Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Construction Management (Sandwich Year)

Program Description Construction managers supervise operations to ensure projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget. Construction managers are the main point of contact for subcontractors and the public, overseeing all aspects of a project, from quality management to monitoring progress and costs. Linking the design and construction of buildings, the course focuses on the technical, professional and managerial aspects of construction projects. With an emphasis on buildings, sustainability, technology and management, students will develop a wealth of knowledge and the professional skills required to successfully manage complex construction projects. The course is designed for students who want to undertake a leadership role in the global building construction process. The successful completion of a construction project requires careful coordination of many activities to ensure that it is finished on time and within budget, and is fit for purpose to the desired quality. Nottingham Trent University's modules are tailored to meet the skills demand in industry. Students will develop the knowledge and confidence to analyse and evaluate the management and technical concepts, principles and theories associated with the development, production, refurbishment and maintenance of international construction projects. The students' studies will involve explorations into legal, economic, financial, political, technological, environmental, sustainable, and health and safety principles that impact construction processes. Please be advised that this program includes a sandwich year, which will be studied during the student's undergraduate degree.
