Why Choose Built Environment at Fife College?
Built Environment is a relatively new way of describing the design, construction, and management of manmade structures. The Built Environment sector includes the traditional areas of Construction Craft and Building Services, as well as Technical Construction, Furniture, and Interior Design.
The construction sector is vital in order for us to build a better future. Jobs in the construction industry are set to grow in Scotland over the next five years, according to the latest forecast from the Construction industry Training Board (CITB). Now is the time to get involved and build careers in construction and the built environment.
So, if your ambition is to build a career in construction, we can offer you a solid foundation in whichever area interests you. All of our Built Environment courses, including interior designing, quantity surveying, architecture and technology, are industry approved, highly valued by employers and provide the foundation for progression pathways, from introductory-level through to HNC/HND and even degree courses.
