BSc Construction Management

About this course

Construction management is the discipline that keeps building projects on time, within budget, and to the required standard of quality and safety. It encompasses project planning and scheduling, procurement and contract management, site management and supervision, health and safety, financial control, and the leadership of construction teams in complex and often unpredictable environments. As the built environment sector faces growing demands from sustainability targets, digital technology, and the need for more affordable housing, construction managers with broad skills and professional credibility are in consistent demand. At Wrexham University, this programme includes a foundation year, providing a structured academic preparation before the main degree, making it accessible to students entering through a variety of routes. The part-time mode of study is designed for those who are already employed within the construction sector, recognising that practical professional experience is a significant asset in this field, and the programme notes that funding may be available through schemes administered by sector skills organisations. You will study the core disciplines of construction management, including building technology, project management, contracts and procurement, cost control, and the regulatory and professional frameworks of the industry. Graduates of construction management programmes work as project managers, site managers, contracts managers, and construction professionals across residential, commercial, infrastructure, and civil engineering projects. The programme provides the academic foundation for professional membership with relevant bodies in the built environment sector, and many graduates pursue chartered status as part of their career development. The combination of technical knowledge and management competency makes construction managers valuable across the full range of organisations that procure, develop, and maintain the built environment.
