BSc Construction Studies

BSc Construction Studies gives you the skills needed to plan, manage, and deliver building projects from start to finish. The programme is offered by the Faculty of Planning and Land Management at SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies. It suits students interested in the practical and technical side of construction.

What construction studies covers

Construction studies programmes generally cover the technology and management of building work. You will learn about building materials, construction methods, structural principles, and the regulations that govern building practice. Most programmes also teach cost estimating, project scheduling, and site organisation, so you graduate with both technical knowledge and the skills to run projects.

How hard it is to get a place

This is a less competitive programme, so you do not need the very highest WASSCE aggregates to be considered. You should still meet the university's published entry requirements and check whether your grades qualify. Being less competitive does not mean entry is guaranteed; it simply means the competition for places is gentler than for some other engineering-based programmes.

What you can do after graduation

Most graduates go into the construction industry in roles such as project management, site supervision, quantity surveying, or building services management. Others work in real estate development, local government planning and infrastructure departments, or start their own contracting businesses. The combination of technical and management skills makes construction studies graduates useful across the entire building sector.
