Course Overview

This HNC in Construction and the Built Environment is an excellent first step into Higher Education for those who already have a level 3 qualification or are mature applicants, with appropriate work experience. The course is specifically aimed at providing a broad-based but highly relevant qualification in support of professional development across a wide range of construction roles including design, construction management, estimating, quantity surveying, facilities management and recycling.

This course is delivered on a day-release basis over a period of one and a half academic years so that, by following on to the HND programme, an HND in Construction and the Built Environment can be gained over a three-year period. Students who successfully complete this HNC may, of course, take a break from their studies before considering any options for further study in the future. This qualification will assist successful students in their pursuit of professional membership in their chosen professional body.
