What will I learn?

In our everyday lives, we take the safety and accessibility of our buildings, cities and environment for granted. Whether its an office, shopping complex, sports ground or home, we act on the assumption that the buildings and structures we inhabit are safe and secure. However, without the work of building control experts, this would not be the case. These professionals uphold the crucial regulations that govern the creation of the built environment, providing an invaluable service for our families, communities and businesses.

UCEMs industry recognised and accredited BSc (Hons) in Building Control is the only programme of its kind as it is fully online. From accessibility and fire safety to technology and energy conservation, this programme was designed in direct response to issues within the regulatory environment and is aligned to the Building Safety Act – legislation that all industry professionals must now conform to.

Programme details

The content of this online programme combines an understanding of construction and design with a conception of the laws and compliance that govern the built environment, giving you the confidence and authority to enforce the crucial standards that keep our families, organisations and communities safe. Your expertise will be widely applicable across the built environment, opening up opportunities to work on a variety of different buildings and structures and build a rewarding and diverse career.
