ate, was the youngest board
director at Saatchi & SaatchiAdvertising at the age of 26.
He is well-known in the UK
as former Chief Executive of
the Football Association. He
brought to the venerable in-
stitution a sense of direc-
tion and purpose such as it
had never had before, intro-
ducing a business culture

As building involves a vast
number of interrelated and
often complex activities, effec-
tive management of the con-
struction process is vital. The
construction project manager
is the person responsible for
the co-ordination control and
monitoring of all these activi-
ties including planning, site
operations and processes.
The BSc Construction Pro-
ject Management gives stu-
dents the skills and knowledge
to manage construction pro-
jects from their inception,
through the design and con-
struction processes and right
up until the point where the
buildings become occupied.
The course also focuses on
developing knowledge of the
construction industry, eco-
nomics and legal aspects of
construction.
B&B offers tuition for only
select final year courses. Ap-
plicants must then have a Di-
ploma or a qualification equal
to NVQ Level IV in a relevant
field. There are two student
intakes each year- January and

Leanne Matthews,
Associate Cost
Manager
Heriot-Watt prepares you very
well for a successful career in
the construction profession asthere is a strong emphasis on
management, as well as the
technical aspects that you will
need for the job. Even after
eight years I still find links
with what I did on my course
and what Im doing today.
I am currently responsible for
the co-ordination and manage-
ment of a range of construc-
tion projects, my role focuses
on costs and ensuring thatbudgets are managed efficient-
ly. I work on a diverse range of
projects in terms
of size and the skills required,
from school building pro-
grammes in the Borders to a
new visitor centre in the Royal
Botanic Gardens in Edin-
burgh.
Natalie Jones,
Barbados
I chose the Heriot
Watt University programme
based on three criteria: flexibil-
ity, popularity and range ofprogrammes available. I liked
that this programme did not
require me to submit periodic
assignments, only self-study
and examinations as frequent-
ly as my work schedule would
permit. Good programme,
great flexibility, with online
and electronic study resources
to help me along the way.
Alfred Okot Okidi,
Uganda
I have found the
Heriot Watt programme to be
unique, practical, relevant and
so enriching. The pro-
gramme was quite taxing, as I
had to blend my reading with
a demanding work schedule.
The beauty of the programme
to me was in the flexibility of
the course and concise course
materials presented in stimu-
lating language. I treasure the
programme more than all my
earlier qualifications and
courses.
Jason Julien,
Trinidad & Tobago
The HWU experi-
ence far exceeded my expecta-
tions. The quality of the
teaching materials was first-
class, as they were well written
and effectively communicated
the complex concepts. In addi-
tion to presenting theory and
practice, the authors fostered
critical thinking with their
narrative. I highly recommend
HWU for anyone seeking to
equip themselves for the chal-
lenges of todays competitive
world.
Sundays between the hoursof 9:00 AM and 4:00 P.M. Adetailed timetable will be pro-
vided at the start of everyterm.
The lectures will focus on thereview, discussion and practi-cal application of key con-cepts and material. Thislearning style is designed todeepen the knowledge of anarea by encouraging a critical-thinking approach revolvingaround an understandingofthe material, rather than adetailed rote-learning re-gurgitation of the syllabus.
The lectures would be fol-lowed by a tutorial once eachmonth. This will be focused
on solving problems relatedto the issues covered in thelectures for the preceding
Lectures in the BSc Con-struction Project Manage-ment Programmes will beheld on weekdays betweenthe hours of 5:30 P.M. to8:30 P.M or on Sundays(depending on the numberof registrants) from 8:00AM to 4:00 PM.

How did you hear about this course
Conditions of Enrolment
The offering of courses will require B&B to enter into commitments for future expenses for the period of
the programme aimed at satisfying possible student needs. Registration for such courses followed by at-
tendance at or participation in classes will therefore be taken as an implicit agreement of the student to
remain in the programme for the duration of the period so as to enable the Institute to meet these commit-
ments entered into on their behalf, and will be interpreted as the provision of an instruction to the Institu-
tion to establish these commitments.
Cancellation of Courses
The withdrawal of the student from the programme will jeopardize the ability of the Institution to meet
these commitments, and in so doing negatively affect its relationship with other students. As such, with-
drawal will only be allowed upon the provision to the Programme Coordinator of a satisfactory explanation
of the reason for withdrawal, and the acceptance of such. Verifiable cases of financial difficulty, fami-
ly/personal problems, health issues, work-related difficulties, and poor academic performance will be ac-
cepted as valid reasons for withdrawal. Other cases will be subject to deliberation before acceptance. Once
the withdrawal is accepted, the withdrawal procedure will then follow the established guidelines of the
Awarding Body offering the qualification (if applicable). The student will have the right to present his/her
case to the Awarding Body for a binding determination to be made in the event that B&B refuses to accept
the reasons for withdrawal. Students are hereby advised that their registration for courses and the subse-
quent attendance at or participation in classes will give B&B Institute the right to have recourse by any
means necessary for expenses suffered, up to the amount of the commitment that was made based on theunderstanding that they would remain in the course. This right may be waived based on the joint agree-
ment of the Programme Coordinator and Executive Director/Principal of B&B. The right will also be
waived if withdrawal is made before tuition begins.
Refunds
Students who withdraw from a programme before instruction begins will be refunded the full amount of all
sums paid to the Institution, with the exception of the applicable registration fee. Refunds for students
who withdraw from a programme of study after instruction begins and up to one month after the start of
