The BSc (Hons) Construction Management degree provides a qualification that is recognised as a comprehensive, informed and valuable measure of the ability of the Wrexham Glyndwr University graduate in the management of construction.

Opportunities for construction managers exist within the construction industry in many varied contexts, from ‘new-build’ developments to heritage and refurbishment projects of all scales and types – developing a career as a construction manager can therefore lead to many rewarding experiences, not least due to the fact that no two construction projects are the same, and that construction managers are likely to spend as much time on site as they are at their desks. These circumstances mean that a career in construction management can often be challenging, particularly rewarding, but never routine.
