Who this course is for

Aimed at School Leavers. The Digital Built Environment course is designed to allow you to develop the higher level skills needed to progress to university or employment at a technical or professional level within the engineering or property & construction industry. The duration of this course is two years. The first year of your course will be spent studying construction principles in maths, materials and human comfort, along with core built environment units, such as construction technology and construction design. You will also gain fundamental skills, which are essential to successful progression into the digital built environment; in health & safety, surveying and legislation. In your second year, alongside specialist project management, graphical detailing and building information modelling (BIM) units, you will get the opportunity to complete a specialist project in house design, construction methods or renewable energy, which should align with your future career plans. In Design Engineer Construct, you will have the opportunity to design and develop your own building design, in response to a live employer brief. You will explore every professional role in the built environment over the lifecycle of your project to design a full Revit model, structural and mechanical plans and facilities management handover report. You will play the role of an architect, land surveyor and architectural technologist whilst developing your design. You will work closely with industry experts to ensure that you are meeting regulations and achieving sustainability expectations in modern professional construction. This project often results in an impressive portfolio of your capability and skills in architecture, digital engineering and technical aspects and lends itself well to the next steps, such as university or employment interviews.
