Location of Edinburgh Napier University
With the drive towards sustainable construction, the call for timber as a primary building material is steadily increasing. As a result, so too is the demand for qualified professionals with timber management skills.
Whether you are currently employed in the timber industry, or are looking to enter, this course will equip you with a comprehensive knowledge of the relevant management and legislative issues. Unique in the UK, the course draws on the education, research, consultancy and knowledge-transfer expertise of the Building Performance Centre, the Scottish Energy Centre, and the Napier-based Centre for Timber Engineering, an independent institution whose strong links to industry will add to your level of experience and employability.
Skills
As well as managerial skills, you'll learn to work in the legislative context that governs the use of timber in today's construction industry. You'll be given the knowledge that will allow you to understand, critically evaluate and manage every aspect of the timber industry's supply chain. Presentation, communication and analytical skills will also be developed.
Career Prospects
As Edinburgh's top university for Graduate Employability (HESA 2010) and one of the top in the UK for Graduate Prospects (The Independent and The Times University Guides for 2009), we can offer you a valuable head-start in your chosen career.
Should you be already working in the timber industry, in either a managerial or technical role, you'll find your employment options will be enhanced on graduation.
