Course summary
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) represent a range of innovative techniques and technologies used in the construction industry. These methods depart from traditional on-site construction by emphasising off-site manufacturing, pre-fabrication, and the use of advanced materials. MMC aims to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and quality by reducing construction timelines, minimising waste, and employing cutting-edge approaches such as modular construction, 3D printing, and digital design tools like Building Information Modelling (BIM). This course will;
- develop the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to achieve high performance in the international construction environment
- develop enquiring minds, who have the abilities and confidence to work across different business functions and to lead, manage, respond to change, and tackle a range of complex construction situations
- provide the core skills required for a range of careers in construction, specifically those related to management and operations
- offer a balance between employability skills and the knowledge essential for those with entrepreneurial, employment or academic ambitions
- develop understanding of the major impact that new digital technologies have on the construction environment
