Last week, LSBU Careers Hub successfully organised another edition of the BEA Autumn Careers Fair.

This year, due to a record 60 industrial partners attending, the fair extended over two days, where employers from Civil and Building Services Engineering (October 10) and Architecture and Construction, Property and Surveying (October 12) visited LSBU to share 1525 job opportunities with over 300 LSBU students that attended the fair.

These were a vibrant couple of days that demonstrated LSBU’s commitment to high-quality student employment.

We look forward to next year!

Scholarships for PhD studentships are available at London South Bank University for September 2021 admission.

LSBU- SBEA Doctoral Scholarship Programme

The School of the Built Environment and Architecture (SBEA) at the London South Bank University (LSBU) is one of the largest schools in its field in the UK. SBEA has recently sharpened its research focus. It has two research centres on: Civil and Building Services Engineering, and Integrated Delivery of the Built Environment; and two research groups on: Acoustics and Digital and Robotic Architecture. Its aim is to pursue world-leading research which has impact on national policies and governance, on practices in industry, and on the wellbeing of society.

The LSBU-SBEA Doctoral Scholarship Programme is pleased to offer two scholarships for PhD Studentships for September 2021.

Details of the scheme

1. The studentships are funded for 3 years and cover the tuition fees and a monthly stipend.

Barnaby Rush, who is Masters students, has conducted research to examine the legal and contractual barriers to BIM implementation and how the NEC4 standard form of construction contract has developed to try and incorporate BIM into the contractual arrangement of parties, in order to overcome these barriers and increase wider BIM uptake. His research specifically focused from the viewpoint of contractors working in the British civil engineering industry, as he works for a main contractor in the British civil engineering industry and has first-hand experience of the lack of BIM uptake in this industry compared to the building or architecture industries. There has also been little previous research from the viewpoints of civil engineering contractors on BIM.

Findings from his questionnaire survey and interviews so far suggest that the NEC4 has made several positive changes to incorporate BIM into the contractual arrangements of parties which should assist in increasing BIM uptake in the

On Wednesday 13 November 2019, we had the pleasure of taking our Civil Engineering students to visit a construction site on 90 Blackfriars Road, SE1.

It was a very valuable experience to understand site constraints, particularly working in central London. We will have to appreciate the logistics during and after construction as there are implications to consider in our design.

Thank you to United Living Group for accommodating this visit for the students.
