A Foundation Year with ARU College is a two trimester course that takes place before your degree at ARU.  This means that your degree will take 4 years to complete in total.

Foundation Year in Engineering, Computing and Technology

Students in these disciplines will find it necessary to work confidently in multi-disciplinary teams throughout their careers. A foundation in Engineering, Computing and Technology is structured around projects working with others from different degree programmes, enabling them to begin to develop this extremely important transferable skill.

Develop the knowledge and skills you need to create technologies and applications that will change the world. During your Foundation, you will have opportunities for practical work and experimentation across a range of elements, including engineering design tasks centred on developing simple robots, in order to introduce the challenges and benefits of realising theoretical ideas. There’ll be lectures and seminars combined with work-based learning and plenty of course options to personalise your studies.

BSc (Hons) in Construction Management

The construction industry is one of the most dynamic, diverse and significant in the world. We live, work and play in the built environment, and our Construction Management degree course will develop your skills, knowledge and understanding of the technology and management involved in its creation.

We'll focus on the key stages and process of planning, construction and maintenance. These range from building design and technology, to the management of resources (people, materials and equipment), to the assurance of the health, safety and wellbeing of the workforce, to the administration of projects and stakeholder engagement, all as they are carried out within contemporary regulatory, legal, economic, and social contexts, and with reference to the latest thinking in sustainability and developments in digital technologies and Building Information Modelling (BIM).

When studying your Construction Management degree at ARU, you’ll use our specialist facilities including industry-standard surveying equipment and a dedicated computer suite offering the latest in CAD, 3D Modelling, project management and financial software. During the course, you will also develop your communication, numerical, IT, teamwork, analytical and problem solving skills in a built environment context.
