Entry requirements

A BTEC Extended Diploma, Diploma, Subsidiary Diploma, Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship or one A level, in a relevant subject (maths, science, geography). Alternative qualifications and relevant experience may also be considered.

Due to the specialist nature of this course and the level of study, we may recommend that students start on the level 3 bridging course, which will provide an introduction to building services at level 3.

This will be discussed with each applicant when they apply and will be based on their experience and qualifications.


Course overview

The Level 4 BTEC Higher National Certificate in Construction and the Built Environment course offers students a broad introduction to the subject area.

Throughout the course students will develop the skills and knowledge to enable them to meet the demands of employers and progress the sector.

The BSE pathway is suitable for students wishing to enter or who hold a post in the design, specification or management of mechanical and electrical services on construction projects.

Students will have the opportunity to apply critical reasoning and analysis techniques to solve engineering problems and design BSE systems using industry standards and appropriate codes of practice.
