BSc Construction Management
About this course
Construction management is the discipline that brings together the technical knowledge of the built environment with the commercial, organisational and leadership skills needed to plan, procure and deliver complex construction projects on time, within budget and to the required quality. Construction is one of the largest sectors of the UK economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employing hundreds of thousands of people, and the demand for skilled managers who can navigate its complexities has remained consistently strong. At Nottingham Trent University this four-year full-time programme is designed around the themes of sustainability, technology and management, reflecting the priorities that are shaping the construction industry as it grapples with decarbonisation, digital transformation and increasingly complex procurement and regulatory environments. You will develop knowledge of construction processes, project planning and control, contract law and procurement, building information modelling, sustainability in the built environment, health and safety management, and the financial and commercial aspects of construction contracts. The programme develops both technical knowledge and the professional skills, including leadership, communication, negotiation and decision-making, that construction management careers require. Nottingham Trent's programme is designed with professional recognition in mind, and the degree provides a pathway to membership of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and related professional bodies that are central to career progression in the sector. Graduates pursue careers as construction managers, project managers, site managers, contracts managers, quantity surveyors and development managers across construction companies, consultancies, developers, housing associations, and public sector clients. The sector offers strong graduate salaries and clear progression to senior roles, and many graduates pursue chartership as a formal recognition of professional competence. Postgraduate study in project management, construction law or sustainability is also an option for those who want to specialise.
