Architecture and Construction Management Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

BSc Architecture & Construction Management at Middlesex University combines architectural design, construction management and digital technologies to develop the skills needed to shape and deliver the built environment of the future.

You’ll explore sustainable design, construction processes, BIM and project delivery, applying your knowledge through practical, project-based learning and industry-informed challenges. You’ll also develop your project management, communication and collaborative skills, working across disciplines to understand how buildings and infrastructure are designed, coordinated and delivered. By the end of the course, you’ll have the technical and professional skills to contribute to a changing construction industry, with a focus on digital innovation, sustainability and effective project delivery.

Why study BSc Architecture & Construction Management at Middlesex?

You’ll develop a broad understanding of how architecture, construction and project management come together to create the buildings and infrastructure of the future. The course brings together design, technology, business and construction, giving you a multidisciplinary perspective on the built environment.

Our practical approach uses project-based learning, live and simulated briefs and applied challenges to help you develop skills relevant to professional practice. You’ll explore Building Information Modelling (BIM), sustainable construction and digital construction processes, while developing your ability to plan, coordinate and deliver complex projects.

You’ll also work collaboratively across disciplines, reflecting the way architects, construction professionals, designers, engineers and project managers work together in industry. Through industry-informed teaching and employer engagement, you’ll gain insight into professional practice and the changing demands of the built environment sector.

What will you learn?

You’ll develop the technical, digital and professional skills needed to contribute to the design, coordination and delivery of buildings and infrastructure. Through a combination of architectural and construction-focused study, you’ll explore design thinking, construction processes, BIM, sustainability and project management.

You’ll apply your knowledge to practical projects, developing your ability to make informed decisions, communicate ideas and work effectively with others. You’ll also consider the environmental, social and technological challenges shaping the future of the built environment.

You will learn how to:

·         Apply architectural design and construction principles to built environment projects

·         Use BIM and digital construction technologies to support project planning, coordination and delivery

·         Understand construction processes, materials and environmental systems

·         Develop sustainable design and construction strategies, considering low-carbon approaches and whole-life thinking

·         Plan, coordinate and manage construction projects from concept through to delivery

·         Communicate project ideas and technical information through drawings, reports, presentations and digital models

·         Collaborate across design, construction, business and technology disciplines to solve complex built environment challenges

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to work across the design, construction and project delivery stages of the built environment, combining digital expertise with an understanding of sustainability and professional practice. You could progress into roles across construction project management, architectural and design support, BIM and digital construction, sustainability, planning, coordination and project delivery.
