Are you looking to further your career in construction? Get an insight into building design, production, management and the technologies used in the industry with our CIOB-accredited course. When you graduate, you can go straight into work or do a top-up year to achieve an honours degree.
With your foundation degree you'll have career opportunities in areas such as construction management, building surveying or quantity surveying. You choose the focus of your learning during your course, so you’ll become skilled in the areas that you’re passionate about.
You might find that you enjoy studying so much that you’d like to continue rather than going straight out to work. Graduating from this course means you’d only have to do one more year with us to achieve a full honours degree.
Throughout the course, we’ll use a range of assessment methods to help measure your progress. Besides exams, you’ll be assessed on your project work, case studies, reports, workplace assessments, presentations and role-plays.
The Faculty of Science & Engineering is one of the largest of the four faculties at Anglia Ruskin University. Whether you choose to study with us full-time or part-time, on campus or at a distance, there’s an option whatever your level – from a foundation degree, BSc, MSc, PhD or professional doctorate.
Whichever course you pick, you’ll gain the theory and practical skills needed to progress with confidence. Join us and you could find yourself learning in the very latest laboratories or on field trips or work placements with well-known and respected companies. You may even have the opportunity to study abroad.
Everything we do in the faculty has a singular purpose: to provide a world-class environment to create, share and advance knowledge in science and technology fields. This is key to all of our futures.
Our striking, modern campus sits by the riverside in Chelmsford's University and Innovation Quarter.
