About your course
The professionally-accredited BSc (Hons) Construction Management at Liverpool John Moores University offers you flexible learning options plus exciting paid placement opportunities.
Additional course costs
Students are required to purchase their own site safety boots to be able to attend organised site visits. There is the option for study visits within the course which will incur additional costs. Locations may change.
Construction management is concerned with the design and construction of buildings and has become more complex as technology and the mechanisation of the building process have developed. Construction managers need excellent interpersonal skills as well as in-depth technical knowledge of all aspects of the construction process so that they can handle the responsibility of managing multi-million pound projects.
You will develop a good understanding of factors affecting the design, procurement, sustainability, and management of the building process. Particular focus is on technology, production and project management through the complete life-cycle of a project.

Your Learning Experience
Excellent facilities and learning resources
You can expect to spend on average 8-10 hours in timetabled activities which may be in the form of lectures, tutorials, practicals and workshops, combined with your own research using our library and the web. You should spend around 15 hours per week in private study.
Work-related Learning
Work-related learning is included within this programme, so students will have the opportunity to engage in real world projects and activities, and apply their own practical experiences.
In doing so, students will be able to apply and further develop their knowledge and employability skills in a 'world of work' context.
Having experience of the workplace and current issues is incredibly valuable in developing career aims and when applying for graduate jobs.
Work-related learning may take different forms, the most common being: work placements; internships; simulations of workplace activity; and employer-driven case studies.
The programme has active links with industry and involves employers in the industrial projects at each level of the programme. Real world case studies are used wherever possible.
Dedicated personal tutor, plus study skills support
Studying on a part time basis can be challenging. We recognise this and ensure that throughout the course you will have the support of a personal tutor who can provide one-to-one guidance and advice on course-related issues
Assessment varies depending on the modules you choose, but will usually include a combination of exams and coursework.
All students perform differently depending on the type of assessment they are asked to do, and so a variety of assessment methods are used. These include exams (open and closed book), coursework (projects, technical reports, portfolios, etc), and presentations (individual and group).
Your tutors will give prompt and constructive feedback via Canvas (our virtual learning environment), face-to-face or in writing.
This will help you to identify your strengths as well as the areas where you may need to put in more work.

I have been able to apply the experience and knowledge I gained during my placement year to the degree course, and most importantly I have developed contacts with professionals in the construction industry. I would definitely advise students to complete an industrial placement year, as the practical experience gained is invaluable.
Career paths
Career prospects for construction management graduates are excellent, with many students securing their first professional position working for multi-national contractors and consultancies and also for organisations within the supply chain either before or after graduation. You can work in the Public or the Private sector and will be equipped with skills to work in the building or civil engineering field and also within Facilities Management.
However, the skills that are obtained within the programme, albeit focused around construction, can be applied into other areas such as financial control and project planning and management of resources.
You can also enjoy varied career opportunities overseas in addition to the UK.
If you decide not to go into the profession, however, you can still take advantage of your transferable skills and work experience to enter other careers.

A wide range of opportunities and support is available to you, within and beyond your course, to ensure our students experience a transformation in their career trajectory.
