Course Overview

This brand-new Level 4 programme of study lays the foundation of learning by providing a broad introduction to construction and different modern methods of construction functions. This Pearson programme was developed with industry partners including the Ministry of Building Innovation and Education. Buildings use about 40% of global energy, 25% of global water and 40% of global resources in their construction and operation. As a result, sustainable energy systems are often incorporated into the design of new construction projects.

Course Requirements

All applications will be considered individual merit, usually based on 64 UCAS points comprising either:

GCE A level
Level 3 vocational qualification in a relevant subject.
Access to Higher Education Diploma in a relevant area.
