Bachelor of Technology in Construction Technology & Resource Management

Overview

This programme prepares students for professional roles in construction technology and resource management within national and global built environment sectors. It emphasises both technical understanding and practical competence to bridge gaps between technician-level skills and civil engineering graduate capabilities.

Study Structure

• The curriculum spans multiple semesters with progressive academic and professional modules designed to build core competencies in construction technology and site management.
• Students engage in applied training, project work, and industry exposure to reinforce theoretical learning with real-world practices.
• Programme delivery includes weekday and weekend options to accommodate candidates with vocational qualifications.

Entry Requirements

• Candidates with relevant National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) levels may be eligible for exemptions, reducing total study duration.
• Holders of NVQ 5 can receive a full year exemption.
• Holders of NVQ 6 may receive exemption of three semesters, subject to academic criteria.
• G.C.E. (A/L) applicants may be enrolled for the weekday pathway if vacancies remain after NVQ-qualified candidates are enrolled.
• Academic background in Engineering Technology or Physical Sciences is typically expected for foundational readiness.

Core Learning Themes

The programme builds expertise in project planning, construction law, economics, and advanced site operations. Students develop skills to interpret, plan and manage construction activities, working with diverse stakeholders and technologies.
