T Level in Building Services Engineering for Construction (Electrotechnical Engineering)

The world of construction and engineering is fast-paced and ever changing with an array of exciting opportunities available for aspiring careers in engineering and construction. Studying this pathway aims to develop your understanding of construction disciplines and building services engineering(BSE) and you will have the opportunity to working directly within the construction/engineering industry on your work placement over the course of the programme.
As part of your studies, you will be expected to undertake a work placement to enhance and develop not only your education of the industry, but also to gain valuable industrial training with your employer placement. This work placement opportunity can be achieved using a range of options, and is subject to the employer's requirements. The placement can be achieved using a block placement or day release. Employers are keen to engage and train students in construction due to the skills gaps in the industry.
You will continue with your work placement alongside your studies by enhancing the theoretical knowledge learnt in the classroom and applying this to the practical environment in the world of work, gaining skills along the way to support with your future career aspirations.
Over the 2 years students will develop health and safety in construction, construction science principles, construction design principles, construction and the built environment, construction sustainability principles, construction measurement principles, building technology principles, construction information and data principles, relationship management in construction, digital technology in construction, construction/business principles, building services engineering systems, maintenance principles and tools, equipment and materials.
