This course will provide a broad introduction to construction and
different construction management functions. This develops and strengthens core
skills while preparing students for specialist subjects at Level 5 or to enter
employment with the qualities necessary for job roles that require some personal
responsibility. Students will gain a wide range of construction knowledge linked
to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study
and workplace scenarios. Students are involved in vocational activities that
help them to develop behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a
competence) and transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as
communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in
higher education and in the workplace.
By the end of the Construction Management HNC, students will have sound knowledge of the basic concepts of construction. They will be competent in a range of subject-specific skills as well as in general skills and qualities relevant to key areas of construction.
You could progress onto the Construction Management HND or another related L5 programme. You could progress into employment in the industry.
