About Program

ABOUT THE COURSE

Working in construction? Ready to take the next step in your career? This top-up course - designed for international students who want to earn a university qualification here in the UK - will help you to turn your existing experience into a valuable bachelor’s degree. You’ll study a curriculum that is tailored to the needs of international students, improving your understanding of built environment roles and their application within the global construction industry.

Core topics (including construction technology, design and project management) frame an in-depth study of sustainability and environmental impact. By working on industry projects and case-studies, you will have the opportunity to apply the things you’ve learned to real workplace scenarios. Additional training covers communication, resilience, self-awareness and teamwork; all of which are applicable to the professional construction environment.

The course team come from a range of professional backgrounds, holding many years’ experience in both higher education and the construction industry. They are actively involved with their industry colleagues, working on academic research and holding committee positions at a range of professional bodies. Opportunities to shadow professionals in the workplace have been built into the curriculum

As an overseas student, you will be well supported as you adapt to life in the UK. You’ll benefit from regular contact with both a student ‘buddy’ and an allocated course tutor. Your course tutor will assess your skills and knowledge, providing you with tailored support throughout the year.

The course is part of a well-respected and recognised programme, endorsed by our large network of employers. Many of our past students have found work through this network, putting future graduates in a good position to confidently seek employment.

As part of your studies you will have the opportunity to undertake a work experience placement.

YOUR FUTURE

Construction is a major source of employment both in the UK and abroad. There are opportunities for global travel and no two jobs are the same.

Suitable roles for graduates include:

  • Construction/project manager

Those who wish to continue their studies can progress onto our MSc Sustainable Building Design programme. By combining these two courses, you will be able to earn an undergraduate and master’s degree in just two years.

PLACEMENTS

Extensive employer contacts help the course team to negotiate a range of placement opportunities each year. The team feels that students on this international top-up course will benefit most from “job shadowing” opportunities, allowing them to get involved with real industry projects and watch a professional at work.
