They require significant utilization of resources such as materials, manpower, equipment and finance. Most of the projects are performed under conditions of scarcity of resources and suffers from uncertainty in their supply. Work delays will result in increasing costs since there is an intricate time-cost relationship for every project. The need for proper planning and management of construction can never be over-emphasised.<\/span><\/p> The Bachelor of Science in Construction curriculum is designed to provide a solid academic base and professional expertise in the discipline of construction management, and to critically address the present and evolving needs of the construction industry. In order to perform successfully in the construction industry, students must develop an understanding of the technical aspects of construction while applying construction management practices and tools to maintain control and provide informed, optimal decisions. The programme focuses on the understanding of construction technology, construction management and production management processes. The programme also addresses the generic skills and capabilities necessary to compete in the employment market.<\/span><\/p> The programme addresses a combination of engineering technology, construction techniques and management. It is designed to prepare graduates for managerial positions in the construction industry. At a personal level, the programme will inculcate professional and ethical approach that will foster the graduates\u2019 personal development, self-respect and career aspirations.<\/span><\/p> [\/restab]<\/p> [restab title=\"Philosophy<\/strong>\"]<\/p> Programme Philosophy<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p> Students of the Bachelor in Science (Construction) programme will be taught courses and given practice in construction technology and management to enable them to become project managers and construction contractors that meet the needs of the country.<\/span><\/p> [\/restab]<\/p> [restab title=\"Aim<\/strong>\"]<\/p> Aim<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p> To produce professional construction project managers or construction contractors who are able to plan, manage, supervise construction projects responsibly and efficiently for society and the creator.<\/span><\/p> [\/restab]<\/p> [restab title=\"Programme Educational Objectives<\/strong>\"]<\/p> Programme\u00a0Educational Objectives<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p> [\/restab]<\/p> [restab title=\"Entry Requirements<\/strong>\"]<\/p> Entry Requirements<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p> [su_list icon=\"icon: arrow-circle-right\" icon_color=\"#702130\"]<\/p> Entry Requirements 2016\/2017 Session (For Local Student)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
