Academic titleDesign and Construction Management, BSc Hons
Course descriptionMajor building projects are now so complex that large numbers of different organisations are involved in their completion. These organisations need to be co-ordinated so that, at the planning stage, the designers communicate relevant information to each other and, at the construction stage, the various parties involved work to a co-ordinated plan.
This programme is a result of co-operation between the industrial and academic worlds, and provides a sound foundation for a management career in the construction industry.
