The construction industry is both varied and exciting. With the driving force of major projects in London, such as crossrail and LSBU's local area regeneration, the construction industry is experiencing a need for well-qualified personnel to be involved in all stages of such exciting developments.

 

The course seeks to provide students with the breadth of technical and managerial expertise in construction, and an up-to-date knowledge of legislation and regulations. The course intends to provide forefront education for our graduates to face exciting and demanding challenges as leaders of a multidisciplinary project team, and also provides the opportunity to use modern equipment within a well-resourced environment. The knowledge gained enables students to have the confidence to work with other professionals and to deliver in complex project or process environments.
