Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Visual Culture] From University of Brighton

The cutting edge expertise in engineering, construction and sustainable development enables students to develop their research and analytical capabilities at masters level. The course provides the requisite knowledge for understanding construction management as a profession. You will refer to how people, resources, organisations, built environment and the natural environment interact and take account of the unique needs and characteristics of construction projects in an environmentally sustainable fashion.

Emphasis is given to the knowledge and skills required to manage the operations on site and to report both to the client's representative and the employing organisation. You will explore site management proposals that can be used to efficiently and effectively deliver construction projects in the shortest possible time. You will also develop effective methods of conducting and controlling the execution of work to an agreed quality and accepted safety standards.

At Brighton you will have the opportunity to learn Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM is widely used in the UK construction industry to manage and deliver building construction projects from concept to completion. Gaining skills and experience in BIM levels 1 and 2 will add to your employability, giving you an advantage when you graduate.
