Key programme information
Timing and classes
The course runs for 4 years and includes a Foundation Year.
Classes are usually scheduled at weekends or in the evening. The exact timetable must be confirmed for the intake.
How difficult is this programme?
The difficulty comes from understanding the site environment, safety, planning, people coordination and practical project pressure.
If you have no construction experience or interest, do not choose this programme only because it has the word management in the title.
What is the Foundation Year and how does it help?
The Foundation Year helps build the academic base and confidence needed before moving into the main construction management modules.
It is useful if you are returning to study or entering UK higher education for the first time.
Main advantage of this programme
It creates a practical bridge between trade or site experience and management roles in the construction industry.
Important points before choosing
Roles such as Quantity Surveyor, Construction Consultant or Project Manager usually require work experience, practical skill and sometimes further professional development.
For people with no construction background, the route can be harder than it first appears.
