Participants develop the practical skills necessary for high-quality surface finishing and structural groundworks. To ensure full site readiness, the program includes essential safety certifications, including Safepass and Manual Handling, equipping graduates with the technical competence and regulatory compliance required for a successful career in the construction industry.

Construction management is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a development from inception to completion. Construction management is aimed at meeting a client’s requirements in order to produce a functionally and financially viable project in the engineering and architectural environment.

Construction management involves the planning, design, production, adaptation, maintenance, restoration, conservation, financial and engineering management, evaluation and recycling of the built environment.

This course integrates theory with practical application to equip students with real life management, communication, and research skills. It provides them with a broad understanding of construction management, resource management, construction technology, building regulations, financial management, health and safety legislation and environmental protection.

This 3-year degree course aims to is to provide each student with the education and training necessary for entry into the construction and property industry at Construction Manager technologist level.

This technical programme integrates theory with practical application to equip students with real life problem solving and communication skills and a broad understanding of construction technology, construction site management, building regulations, financial management, health and safety legislation and environmental protection.

Construction Management is the planning, coordination and control of a construction project from concept to completion, ensuring the project is delivered on time and on budget while adhering to the necessary environmental and health and safety standards.

It is an exciting time to study construction in Ireland as the National Development Plan and the National Planning Framework are set to reshape Ireland over the next two decades.  Students will develop the necessary skills in management to deliver projects safely, on time, on budget and to the highest quality.

Our course is built around helping you to develop the key skills to become a Construction Manager. You will develop a deep understanding of different Methods of Construction and Construction Technology ranging from housing to complex commercial and industrial developments.  

You will learn about the Legal and Contractual framework used in construction. You will develop the key Project Management Skills of planning, organising and coordinating and a deep understanding of the lifecycle of construction projects.

This course is designed for those who wish to make a career in management not only in the construction industry, but also in a wide range of growing areas such as in the sustainability, conservation and maintenance, retail and information technology management sectors.

This course is suitable for those interested in the professional side of the construction industry. The course will cover core areas of construction management, including Building Information Modelling (BIM),modern construction technology, lean project management and modern construction procurement and contract management. 

Construction Management is a very rewarding career with lots of action and the satisfaction of seeing real results that transform design drawings and models into real buildings, roads or bridges. The Construction Manager organises the people, materials and equipment needed to get the job done in the most efficient and effective manner. Construction managers are well organised professionals with good communication and people skills to direct and motivate the range of people and organisations involved in construction projects.

This course is designed for those who wish to work as professional construction managers in the construction industry. The 4-year programme was developed to enable learners to become construction professionals which are abreast of technological developments in the Construction sector such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), sustainability and surveying techniques.

The course aims to create for the learner a multi-discipline environment in which real life projects are worked on. The subjects covered give a wide range of expertise pertinent to the construction industry allied with more general business and management modules.

Construction Management is all about managing the construction process and meeting the needs of clients within legal, financial and environmental constraints. Construction Managers require a combination of engineering knowledge, good business and organisation skills and a capacity for leadership in managing the building process. You will develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the construction process and the necessary theoretical knowledge to match solutions to construction problems; the management skills to plan, organise and manage construction projects and the ability to contribute to the construction process in a manner that sustains and enhances the natural and the built environments.  

The main aim of the course is to give you the skills to take projects from design to reality. The course will provide you with a broadly based management and technological education so that you are capable of recognising, evaluating and solving constructional and business problems associated with building and civil engineering projects. The course will teach you how to adapt to technological change in a competitive industrial climate.

Managing construction projects requires a high level of organization, both commercially and technologically. Construction management prepares you to systematically plan, organise and manage resources such as finance, labour, plant and materials. Construction engineering gives you the skills necessary to implement processes and methods of construction to produce a quality building in an efficient and safe manner.

Construction Management & Engineering prepares students for responsible engineering and management roles in all phases of construction projects. It emphasises management, engineering and technological techniques useful in organising, planning and controlling the activities of diverse specialists working in the project environment of the Irish and international construction industry. 

This program is a progression-focused course designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the modern building environment, specifically targeting building technology, site management, and cost estimation. By integrating technical knowledge with commercial awareness, it equips students for the complexities of the construction sector, offering a robust pathway toward university degrees or supervisory roles within the industry.

This foundational course prepares students for construction industry apprenticeships—such as carpentry, electrical, or plumbing—as well as progression to third-level degrees in construction, architecture, and engineering. Alongside core building trade skills, the curriculum heavily emphasizes green building technology and sustainability, providing hands-on training in renewable energy, solar/photovoltaic panel installation, insulation, and domestic building retrofitting. Graduates leave equipped with the modern, eco-friendly skills needed to enter directly into employment or advance to higher education.

The BSc (Hons) in Construction Project Management and Applied Technology equips graduates with the skills needed to effectively manage project cost, scope and timelines for an ever-changing national and international construction industry. This programme blends traditional practical skills including carpentry and joinery, with modern construction approaches, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Lean Construction. Graduates develop an appreciation for design/planning on small scale workshop projects right up to Virtual Modelled buildings where collaboration is essential through digital technologies.
