The Construction Engineering Management course at Loughborough University was recommended to be by an industry professional that I was working alongside of while undertaking some work experience during my A-levels.

The facilities within the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering and beyond at Loughborough University allow for flexible working, and account for different learning techniques and environments. Various study spaces are available for individual and group work depending on the nature of the projects you are working on.

The teaching staff deliver to a consistent quality and are easily contactable for further guidance and support. They are also willing to offer extended tuition where required.

As well as gaining technical knowledge, you are introduced to team working. Construction is all about functioning as a team. Through group assignments, you learn how to rely on other people and support others where required. You will also learn to personally prioritise your workload and become more flexible as you will often have to work around your team members’ schedules. Adaptability is a key skill in the construction industry as it moves at such a rapid pace.
