Optional Foundation Year
If you didn’t get the A-level results you were hoping for, are thinking of a change in career, or if you did not follow traditional routes into higher education, then starting your studies with a Foundation Year may be the right choice for you. You'll develop the key transferable skills and subject-specific knowledge needed to continue into the full BSc degree.
Level 4
You’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of the built environment through a lens of sustainability, including materials, methods and technologies. In team-based, challenge-led learning, you’ll apply your developing skills to analyse standard problems in a multi- and inter-disciplinary way. Throughout Level 4, you’ll develop your independent learning capabilities together with effective collaboration and team-working skills.
Level 5
At Level 5, you’ll further deepen and apply your knowledge of the built environment to problems that focus more deeply on the construction lifecycle; you’ll integrate your knowledge and skills into the planning and managing of more complex projects – with the opportunity to propose alternative solutions to built environment challenges that benefit from sustainable applications. Half of Level 5 is spent in the work environment on a placement – you’ll experience real context and develop critical evaluation skills, applying your learning to workplace practices.
Level 6
By the end of Level 6 you should be a self-motivated, efficient, organised, and independent learner, classically demonstrated through an independent enquiry or design-led Bachelor’s dissertation. The focus will be on developing a deeper, more nuanced understanding of context, and complex integrated challenges.
Learning timetable
Learning takes place within the hours of 9-5, Monday-Friday. Your own time is just that, undisturbed for you to enjoy.

We believe that your assessment should be as reflective of a real workplace as possible and that means no traditional exams. Instead, our assessments take the form of a display of artefacts you’ve developed and built, industrial reports, development of specifications, test reports and project plans, creative media presentations, debates and general question-and-answer sessions where your participation and knowledge can be assessed.
We developed our assessment techniques in collaboration with industry to help you build a portfolio of work that will live on with you long after graduation.
