Building & Construction

There are boundless opportunities in the construction industry attracting everyone from craftsmen to designers, ground workers to highflyers. You’ll like construction if you like variety, travel and the satisfaction of being part of something, er... concrete...

Buildings of every kind have a life. They are conceived as an idea, then a plan; they are designed and built with care and need to be cared for during their lives. They might even have several lives with different uses until finally their materials are recycled into new structures when their life is complete.

But what goes up must not come down, at least not without a demolition crew and appropriate safety equipment. The weight of regulation in construction makes it an increasingly technical industry where solid qualifications are the essential groundwork for everyone.

At the Built Environment Campus, our dedicated construction facility, you will learn everything it takes to be successful in your chosen trade. Self-employment is popular in this industry, as well as opportunities in small, local businesses or international firms – and we will give you the practical skills as well as the theory and methods of construction you’ll need to thrive in this fast-paced sector.
