Built Environment

The centre for the Built Environment offers industrially applicable and accredited programmes that are of interest to part time and full time students alike. The programmes are aimed at those who are seeking a career, or are already active, in all aspects of the construction industry, estate agency and estate management, and housing.

Glyndŵr University has strong relationships with recognised professional bodies in these areas, sometimes allowing it to offer exemptions for memberships. Whilst the curricula have always recognised the importance of sustainability, a new specialised bachelor degree in Sustainable Development has been launched. This will study a topic that is now an unavoidable aspect of construction and development, and one that is increasingly the subject public debate, industry’s attention, and government legislation.
