Course Overview

This hands-on course ensures you gain relevant academic knowledge and practical skills from the outset using our high-quality, current technology and on-site laboratories. At Northumbria, you will experience first-hand knowledge of the built environment and the wider environmental context. The program will focus on all the appropriate elements for the initial stages of developing you as a Northumbria Graduate and ultimately as an undergraduate degree student. The learning outcomes for the Built Environment program and the modules have been mapped against the professional development requirements and the competencies required by this industry. Northumbria foundation year students have a mature, intellectual curiosity through an examination and understanding of the professional practice, current theories, policy, and real-life practice. As a result, you will be able to develop and apply your academic knowledge and experience of research skills to your chosen degree program. You will be taught by a diverse group of built environment-related professionals. Their background, knowledge, and experience in both practice and academia, and the emphasis and support of a research-rich learning environment, will allow you to develop a research-rich, practice-based experience and encourage you to carry on your studies in an undergraduate program.
