Take advantage of the lack of construction professionals

Forecasts indicate a shortfall in qualified built environment professionals, so choosing a course in this sector represents an excellent career decision. Built environment professionals include areas such as:

• Spatial Design; including architects, urban designers and landscapers
• Engineering; including structural engineers and build services engineers
• Surveying; including land surveyors, quantity surveyors and building surveyors
• Management; including project managers, construction managers and facilities managers
• Planning; including a town planner
