BEng (Hons) Construction Engineering Management

Manage construction projects that could radically transform the built environment and shape the industry's future. Work nationally, or take your ambition global, managing teams on international ventures.

In this BEng (Hons) Construction Engineering Management degree course, you'll develop the skills you need to manage innovative projects and teams, boosting your leadership potential within the construction industry. You'll visit potential future work environments and apply your knowledge to practical scenarios from real companies, working through development proposals and examining the suitability of suggested designs, simulating the responsibilities of a successful construction manager.

Graduate with the leadership, interpersonal, technical and management skills you need to launch a career in this rapidly changing field.

Course highlights

• Become confident in key theories and principles that construction practice is based on through field studies and labs in areas including measurement, soils and materials, and hydraulics.
• Have the option to study modules that match your interests and career ambitions, such as practical diving and underwater engineering and infrastructure, heritage property and applied building information modelling (BIM).
• Benefit from the expertise of our Industrial Advisory Committee, a network of construction organisations and senior practitioners who inform your modules and offer placement opportunities.
• Have the opportunity to take a work placement year abroad – a previous student worked for a surveying equipment manufacturer in Switzerland.
