BSc Construction Project Management
About this course
Construction project management sits at the interface of engineering, business, and the built environment, concerned with delivering complex physical projects on time, within budget, and to the required standard. From residential developments and infrastructure schemes to the retrofit of existing buildings for a low-carbon future, the construction industry shapes how people live and work in fundamental ways. At Sheffield Hallam University, this three-year, full-time degree takes that broader significance seriously, exploring the key challenges facing construction today, including climate resilience, digital innovation, and the management of large and technically demanding projects. You will study the principles of project management alongside the technical knowledge needed to understand construction processes, including cost management, contract law, health and safety, and the use of digital tools such as building information modelling. The programme develops your capacity to lead projects, coordinate teams, and solve problems under real-world constraints, all while keeping sight of the social and environmental context in which construction takes place. A sandwich placement year is included, giving you the chance to gain extended professional experience in industry before completing your degree, and work placement opportunities are integrated throughout, helping you build a strong practical foundation alongside your academic study. Graduates of construction project management are well prepared for careers in construction companies, consultancies, client organisations, and public sector bodies commissioning major infrastructure. Roles as project manager, quantity surveyor, site manager, and construction consultant are all common destinations, and the qualification is valued across commercial, residential, civil engineering, and public sector development. Many graduates also pursue professional accreditation through recognised industry bodies or continue to postgraduate study in project management, construction law, or built environment subjects. This is a degree for those who want to shape the places and infrastructure that communities depend on.
