Here at the University of Bolton we have a long tradition of delivering courses for the construction industry and we are recognised nationally as a provider of high quality education in the field of the built environment.

We have excellent contacts in the industry throughout the region. Our lecturing staff are professionals who offer extensive expertise and experience; they have all worked in the construction industry and many are actively involved in the industry's professional bodies.

Most of the built environment degree courses are accredited by these professional bodies and lead to Chartered membership. Successful completion of other courses will enable you to pursue membership of a professional body at some other level.

This all means that study on our HNC or degree courses will give you a solid, professional foundation in your chosen subject to support your career development in the construction industry.

Our involvement in a range of research projects and our provision of consultancy services means we are in touch with the latest developments across the sector and these are incorporated into our teaching.

You will learn through a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials, studio and field work and you will have extensive opportunities for hands-on training and experience. Assessment is by coursework, project work and time-controlled assessments.

Our courses provide the right balance of practical and theoretical work to ensure you develop a range of work-related, transferable and graduate skills.

We offer a number of flexible courses that reflect the many sectors in the construction industry. The truly multidisciplinary format of teaching means you will have the opportunity to carry out project work that is a totally realistic reflection of industry processes.

The University has excellent facilities including laboratories for practical research, up-to-date IT resources and our unique design studio where you will be able to access the latest CAD software.

Whichever course you choose, our teaching, our experience, our expertise and our facilities will offer you an excellent opportunity to begin, or enhance, your career in the construction industry.
