All of our courses can be studied full-time course over either one or two years depending on if your course includes an industrial placement. The majority of courses, excluding those with a placement in industry, are also offered on flexible-modular basis over two years. We offer this flexibility in recognition that you may want to fit your studies around work and other commitments. 

You will learn through intensive teaching blocks, taught on campus and supported through our online learning environment.

How block teaching works

Each teaching block lasts up to two weeks and deals exclusively with all of the teaching for one 20-credit module. Each 20-credit module runs in one semester. Full-time students and flexible-modular students are taught together.  

Assessment methods vary; in some modules you may complete assessed classwork during the teaching block, and then submit your main assignment work at the end.  

If you choose to study on the flexible-modular basis, our expectation is that you will complete the course within two to five years of study. Due to the modular structure, you will still be able to select your own modules and shape your course to suit your needs and interests. 

I started researching universities and it was the ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø that stood out. The umbrella course for both construction management and quantity surveying gave great flexibility to specialise in one subject in my final year. I wanted to gain experience in both specialisms before I chose.
