1.30pm

Welcome Talk – Start your journey to becoming a Built Environment professional

Your student experience starts here. You’ll take part in a fun, practical design and build project. You’ll then start thinking about how you can look at your project as a real Built Environment professional - identifying and exploring its strengths, as well as potential issues that may occur. This is a great way to start adopting a practical mind-set and you’ll discover how interactive your course will be.

1.50pm

Get hands-on and learn more about the Built Environment!

a) Want to know what it takes to develop a house?

We’ll let you loose on a real site plan so that you can analyse and decide how best to overcome constraints and develop it for housing. You’ll work within a given time and cost budget to design a sample home, keeping in mind the needs of your client, your profit objectives and the local area. For inspiration, our First Year students will show you their digital modelling work and you’ll learn how you can utilise digital modelling to deliver your very own university projects!

b) What’s it like to study in the Built Environment?

Working within the Built Environment requires different specialisms coming together and collaborating to meet project goals and create amazing transformations. From Building Surveyors to real estate professionals and everything in between, each have a vital role to play when it comes to delivering life-changing and impactful projects. In this session, current students and course staff will share their experiences with you, so you can discover and understand what the key elements are for studying the Built Environment with us. You’ll be inspired to think about how to get the best from your degree, your career and beyond.

3.30pm

Take a walking tour of your living lab: Birmingham

Birmingham is your playground.  The city’s landscape is in a state of flux and bursting with opportunities for you to explore. Walk with our students to see first-hand some of the city’s construction and regeneration projects that you could be involved with during your studies.

4.30pm

It’s all about you, so get your questions ready!

Once you’ve taken your tour, we’ll summarise the day with some final bits of information that we think you’ll find useful. We’ll also be happy to answer any questions you may have before you go, so make sure you prepare some for us!
