Work placements
As work-related learning is an important characteristic of this Foundation degree, work placement or relevant professional activity is an essential requirement for study. It is expected that most part-time students will be in appropriate professional situations and, in the case of full-time students, assistance will be given in finding appropriate placements.
The Professional Practices modules will focus on work-related activities and will involve agreement with employers or host companies on projects and assessed work.
Many of the modules are delivered by practising professionals employed in the local construction industry and site visits are an important part of the course.
Assessment
Modules are assessed in a number of ways including coursework assignments, time controlled assignments, phase tests, group projects, presentations and examinations
