BSc (Hons) Construction Engineering Management explores how different parts of the construction process fit together, and how you can manage that process to deliver the best results for society and the environment. There is a growing need for managers who have expertise across construction, engineering and management. Currently there is a shortage of such managers and so this course will give you excellent career prospects. You will study a number of business and management modules to give you the skills you need to manage a range of construction projects. These include Commercial Management, Law and Procurement, and Management of People. A particular strength of the course is the opportunity to undertake a year-long work placement with a construction/engineering company. The course's relevance and rigour is reflected by its accreditation by the Chartered Institute of Building.<br><br>Northumbria University Newcastle holds Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Accredited Centre Status. This programme is accredited by the CIOB (subject to conditions), having been judged to meet the CIOB Education Framework. Prospective members holding these qualifications have full academic exemption and once they have gained three to five years' relevant work experience may enter CIOB membership as an applicant to progress towards Chartered Membership without the requirement for an Individual Assessment. The placement year, before your final year, will enrich your experience and offer an extended opportunity to engage with industry. We encourage all students to consider undertaking a placement, though it's not compulsory and you can choose to complete the course in three years. By the end of this course you'll be in an excellent position to apply for graduate training schemes and graduate roles in construction management. Our Careers and Employment Service offers resources and support that will help you find roles matching your interests and skills. You could also undertake further study at postgraduate level with a course such as our Construction Project Management MSc.

These include critical reflection and self-learning, collaboration and curiosity, and the ability to apply your knowledge to solve problems in ways that are sustainable and ethical.
