LSBU is playing a key role in the development of Degree Apprenticeships: vocational degree courses that give students a thorough academic grounding at the same time as gaining skills and experience. LSBU is working with industry as part of the trailblazer consortiums for surveying, civil engineering and building services engineering, and is already delivering Degree Apprenticeships in Building Surveying and Quantity Surveying. ‘The construction sector faces skills shortages and apprenticeships are a vital tool to help,’ says Professor Charles Egbu, Dean of the School of the Built Environment and Architecture. ‘LSBU is working closely with employers and industry bodies to train highly employable graduates on fully accredited courses.’
