First Year in Engineering, Computing and Technology Leading to Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Construction Management Navitas Group - Anglia Ruskin University College, UK

In the First Year Pathway students complete the ARU first year of the degree, undertaking the same modules, in the same classes as students entering the University directly. Alongside the ARU modules, students entering through the First Year Pathway will have additional support and tuition from ARU College.

First Year in Engineering, Computing and Technology

Students in these disciplines will find it necessary to work confidently in multi-disciplinary teams throughout their careers. A foundation in Engineering, Computing and Technology is structured around projects working with others from different degree programmes, enabling them to begin to develop this extremely important transferable skill.

Develop the knowledge and skills you need to create technologies and applications that will change the world. During your Foundation, you will have opportunities for practical work and experimentation across a range of elements, including engineering design tasks centred on developing simple robots, in order to introduce the challenges and benefits of realising theoretical ideas. There’ll be lectures and seminars combined with work-based learning and plenty of course options to personalise your studies.

BSc (Hons) Construction Management

The construction industry is one of the most dynamic, diverse and significant in the world. We live, work and play in the built environment, and our Construction Management degree course will develop your skills, knowledge and understanding of the technology and management involved in its creation.

We'll focus on the key stages and process of planning, construction and maintenance. These range from building design and technology, to the management of resources (people, materials and equipment), to the assurance of the health, safety and wellbeing of the workforce, to the administration of projects and stakeholder engagement, all as they are carried out within contemporary regulatory, legal, economic, and social contexts, and with reference to the latest thinking in sustainability and developments in digital technologies and Building Information Modelling (BIM).

When studying your Construction Management degree at ARU, you’ll use our specialist facilities including industry-standard surveying equipment and a dedicated computer suite offering the latest in CAD, 3D Modelling, project management and financial software. During the course, you will also develop your communication, numerical, IT, teamwork, analytical and problem solving skills in a built environment context.

At ARU, practical experience comes in the form of Constructionarium, a key part of your Level 4 study. You'll take part in the real-life construction of an iconic building or structure over a residential week, learning both management and hands-on construction trade skills along the way. The development of professional skills is embedded throughout the course, linked to authentic, realistic and practical assessment in many modules. We encourage you to attend CPD events – regularly held here at ARU – to start to build your industry networks and meet other young professionals from the region.
