This course has a strong emphasis on construction technology with module options that give students a background in valuation and procurement. Recognised by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). In year 1 students can participate in a walking tour of Edinburgh viewing the architecture of the Old and New Town. In year 2, students have the opportunity to participate in in a field course, Constructionarium, which provides hands-on construction working alongside professional engineers and tradesmen to construct scaled down versions of bridges, buildings, dams and civil engineering projects from all around the world. In year 3, students have the opportunity to gain work experience via the Culture of External MENToring (CEMENT) scheme, which links students with professionals in practice to offer work placements, graduate employment opportunities and site visits. There are also field trip opportunities to a European city looking at the construction of some of the world’s most recognisable buildings. In year 4, students undertake a week long collaborative design project working with students from across the built environment disciplines.
