About Building Services Engineering Beng (hons) in Coventry University

As the number of current construction and engineering projects continues to grow worldwide, the demand for building services engineers currently outstrips supply.
Accredited by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), this course provides direct entry to the second year of an ‘honours degree’ programme, an internationally recognised undergraduate qualification. It is primarily designed for part-time students already working in the industry, who wish to build on an existing Higher National Certificate (HNC) qualification or equivalent and are seeking to become a professional qualified engineer.
