BSc (Honours) Professional Practice in Construction Site Management
Degree apprenticeship
Study for a recognised qualification alongside
your career – culminating in a degree
acknowledging your experience.
How does the degree apprenticeship work?
You study a university course alongside 30+ hours of employment a week – so you'll need a relevant job role before you apply. The combination of the course and the job has to meet a national ‘apprenticeship standard’ – in this case the Construction Site Manager standard. So you get to study for a recognised qualification, while earning a salary and having no student fees to pay.
The course normally takes 3 years part-time – then you'll complete an endpoint assessment within a further 12 months.
1. Course summary

This course is suitable whether you are new to the construction industry or whether you'd like a degree qualification in recognition of your experience.
