Description

This programme is for those of you who want to be the connecting link between idea and action in the building project. 

The programme may look a little like the architect or the engineer, but the difference can be described as organisational skills. The architect works with aesthetics, the engineer with the physics, whereas the graduate in Architectural Technology and Construction Management works with the organisational part.

The education will give you the qualifications to plan, control and administer structural assignments as well as controlling the production process and taking part in quality assessments.

Construction, projecting, and project control are therefore important topics of this study programme.

To be a good project manager you will deal with the following subjects during your education:

• Communication
• Working methods
• Organization and collaboration
• Information technology
• Numerical understanding, math. and physics
• Foreign language
• Management, legal matter and law.

Career Opportunities

You are taught to be a generalist within the fields of architectural technology, construction management, building surveying and facilities management:

• Projection/planning
• Project management
• Structural construction
• Co-ordination and planning
• Communication

You will have the qualifications to work within the contracting business, in architect’s drawing offices, with consulting engineering companies, or within the public authorities. International organisations are gradually using constructing architects as well. Finally you may want to establish your own company.

This interdisciplinary module is designed for students who wish to study and work with citizens of all kinds, though the priority will be on marginalized groups such as vulnerable children, youth or different minority groups.Students from Humanities, Education, Public Administration, Community and/or Social Work, as well as Health Sciences are most welcome.In order to participate, students must speak English at an advanced level (C level and above in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)).

Purpose

We will work with the meeting between professional, citizens and users in practice. We will focus on values, theories and practice aimed to support people to develop their full potential and enrich their lives through users’/citizens’ involvement.

The target group of citizens can be all kind, but the priority will be on marginalized groups such as vulnerable children, youth or different minority groups. In the field of welfare services, we will work with the conditions for democratic and transparent public services. Services can be publicly or privately organized and must be able to handle the complexities of late modern society.

Increasingly, welfare services have an element of “self-service” for their users, some of whom are not familiar or comfortable with their role in relation to “professional” welfare service providers.

You will gain new professional knowledge and skills in a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary context. The module will also address the tension that occurs when the professionals, citizens and users come together in practice.

Whether you want to manage projects from ideas, through planning, financing and implementation, or you are committed to support each individual and want to work directly with children or adults with special needs, the  goal is to discover and realize a better life by empowering and involving each person in all relevant decisions.
