Construction students are taught by specialist lecturers, many of whom have been very successful in their own trades and bring a wealth of up-to-date industrial knowledge to the role. 

Studying at the Centre
Students at the Construction Skills Centre have exactly the same benefits and support as those at our other sites. You will be fully supported by our tutorial system with a dedicated one-to-one personal tutor and will be encouraged to use our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), Fitness Centre and the Learning Centre. You will also have access to a wide range of enrichment activities at Mudford Road and other linked centres.
