  • Give students the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to achieve high performance in the international construction environment.
  • Develop students with enquiring minds, who have the abilities and confidence to work across different business functions and to lead, manage, respond to change, and tackle a range of complex construction situations.
  • Provide the core skills required for a range of careers in construction, specifically those related to management and operations.
  • Offer a balance between employability skills and the knowledge essential for students with entrepreneurial, employment or academic ambitions.
  • Develop students’ understanding of the major impact that new digital technologies have on the construction environment.
  • Provide insight into international business operations and the opportunities and challenges presented by a global marketplace.
  • Equip students with knowledge and understanding of culturally diverse organisations, cross-cultural issues, diversity and values, and to allow flexible study to meet local and specialist needs.
