FdSc Construction Management

The construction industry is one of the most dynamic, diverse and significant in the world.

We live, work and play in the built environment – and our Construction Management foundation degree will develop your skills, knowledge and understanding of the technology and management involved in its creation.

Our part-time course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). It will prepare you for work in construction or construction project management. You'll also have the opportunity to progress onto our specialist BSc (Hons) Construction Management, and gain a full honours degree.

Our FdSc Construction Management degree is designed to prepare you for work in construction or construction project management.

You could follow several routes, such as working in a contracting organisation, the estates department of a larger company, or for a specialist consultancy organisation.

After gaining some experience and achieving professional qualifications, you may be able to work as a self-employed consultant or start your own specialist consultancy practices, in the UK or overseas.

This course also offers a progression route to our specialist BSc (Hons) Construction Management, which is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Building and Chartered Association of Building Engineers.

Employability and personal career development

These all give you an edge, providing you with experience that you will be able to evidence on your CV and talk about in interviews.
