Construction Project Management BSc(Hons)

About the course

Accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), our Construction Project Management BSc(Hons) course provides the first step to becoming a qualified project manager.

The degree has been developed to work alongside our Architecture, Architectural Technology and Quantity Surveying courses, to help you develop a strong understanding of professionalism within the construction industry. As such, you will benefit from opportunities to work collaboratively with students across other courses, which will give you experience and understanding in how to work in multidisciplinary teams.

The course introduces aspects of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Lean Construction to give you the skills to take a project to completion, on time and on budget. BIM enables clients, constructors, and other parties to collaborate on projects wherever in the world they are based. Lean supports the reduction of waste in construction, helping projects generate better value to users and society.

You’ll have the chance develop your leadership skills, and we’ll introduce you to insights from world-leading practitioners and academics.

Once you’ve enrolled on the Construction Project Management course, you have the possibility to switch to Quantity Surveying or Architectural Technology at the end of the first year (with the agreement of your tutors) if your interests change.

Why study Construction Project Management BSc(Hons)

On the course – which has been ranked fourth in the UK for Construction, Surveying & Planning by The Guardian League Table (2023) – you’ll develop an understanding of what goes into global construction at each stage of a project.

We’ll cover everything from the client’s initial brief through to design, procurement, construction, operations, and maintenance of built assets.

Following your construction degree, you might go on to further study or enter the world of work to put the skills you’ve developed on this course into practice.
