What You’ll Learn
Modules
Maintenance Management (20 credits)
This module provides an analytical approach to non-compliance of performance, and recognise the limitations set by the structure of new and existing buildings and services systems, whilst placing the area of technology in the context of management, diagnostic appraisal and technical actions such as remedial treatment, replacement or reuse.
Facilities Management (CEF Module) (20 credits) (CEF code: 31Z121431)

Students will consider the role of the building professional within a corporate environment with a view to developing an awareness of the interaction and effect of the individual non-core activities on corporate achievement.
Building Conservation (20 credits)
The module aims to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of conservation in the historic built environment through exploring the principles, legislative framework, policy issues and philosophies relating to building conservation, all in the broader context of achieving sustainable development.
Project Analysis and Appraisal (CEF Module) (20 credits) (CEF code: 31Z121458)
This module is designed to equip students with the overall concept of “a project” by considering its phases and constituent parts from inception to completion. The analysis and appraisal of the project will be considered in relation to the four aspects of Whole Life-Cycle Appraisal and in relation to new-build, refurbishment and regeneration projects.
Professional Practice – BS (CEF Module) (20 credits)(CEF code: 31Z12144A)
The module develops students’ concepts of Building Pathology combined with building performance and the appraisal of remedial and design solutions to the degradation processes. It will also be used to develop their understanding of essential practice-relevant issues such as awareness of the requirements of codes of professional conduct and ethics and the fundamentals of practice management.
Dissertation / Project (20 credits)
On an individual basis the student will be required to carry out an in-depth study involving theoretical, experimental or investigative analysis, or a combination of these, in the context of a critical review of an aspect of construction and/or the built or natural environment.
