BSc Construction Management
About this course
Construction management is the discipline concerned with planning, coordinating, and overseeing construction projects from inception through to completion, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality and safety standards. It sits at the junction of technical construction knowledge and the management skills required to lead complex multi-disciplinary projects involving contractors, consultants, clients, and supply chains. Effective construction managers must understand how buildings and infrastructure are designed and built as well as the contractual, commercial, and human dimensions of managing large and often unpredictable projects. At Anglia Ruskin you will study this programme part time, giving you flexibility to combine your studies with professional work in the construction sector, which is particularly valuable for those who are already working on site or in a construction organisation and wish to develop their management qualifications while continuing to earn. The programme develops knowledge in project planning and scheduling, contract management, procurement, cost control, health and safety, and the leadership and communication skills that effective construction management demands. Practical experience in the construction sector, whether through your existing work or through placements, is an important complement to the academic learning. Construction management graduates work as project managers, site managers, construction managers, commercial managers, and contracts managers across contracting organisations, consultancies, developers, and client-side project teams. The construction industry in the UK faces substantial demand for qualified managers as it delivers housing, infrastructure, and the built environment transformation that net zero commitments require. Professional development towards chartered membership of the Chartered Institute of Building is a common career goal for graduates. Postgraduate study in construction project management, quantity surveying, or project management is also available for those who wish to develop their expertise further.
