You’ll get valuable experience on real building projects and work placements, as well as during competitions.

You’ll also benefit from our Construction department’s excellent industry links. Working with companies including Beal Homes, British Gypsum, Hobson and Porter, Ibstock, MKM Building Supplies and Persimmon Homes, we offer you access to good quality work experience, apprenticeships, supplies and guest speakers.
