UndergraduateCourse summary
With particular emphasis on preparing, you for a dynamic professional career in construction management, consultation and collaboration with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), Construction Wales Innovation Centre (CWIC) and Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), has helped us develop a programme that is as close as possible to the construction industry’s skills demand focus, to pioneer innovative and dynamic projects that will support and enrich communities into the next century. Today’s construction industry is facing the challenges of globalisation, climate change, demanding clients and a complex regulatory framework. Technology and integrated delivery play an increasingly important role in the industry. This course equips you with the skills to deal with these challenges in areas such as the legal, technical, managerial, economic, social and environmental aspects of a construction project while providing you with the knowledge and understanding to make informed choices, ensuring efficiency, quality and risk aversion for the project. Core modules in Construction Management allow students to learn through creative problem-solving and collaborative working. The course also embraces the intellectual and practical competencies required by professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). You will develop expertise in construction technology and project planning, project management and digital competencies.

Assessment method
Assessments used within these Programmes are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Typically, such assessment will take the form of practical exercises where a more hands-on approach shows student’s ability on a range of activities. Traditional formal time-constrained assessment is by means of tests and examinations, normally of two-hour duration. Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress. Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session. Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated. Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.
