Industry Academia Collaboration
in the Built Environment
Testimonials
"Everyone talks about the academic and Industry gap and the students not being ready for stellar performance from day 1. BNCA along with Liverpool John Moores University have finally decided to take a concrete step forward. With the launch of this course we hope to welcome industry ready graduates. With it’s focus on all round practical domain knowledge and skill I am sure the students will contribute with confidence from day one.
I was very happy to be part the workshop that aimed to deliberate on the need and scope of the PG Diploma Course in the Built Environment. The participants were well chosen and had representatives from academia, industry, industry bodies and members of architecture and engineering fraternity. The organisers had prepared in depth feedback mechanism ahead of time. This led to focused and in-depth deliberations. The workshop itself was structured well and focused on getting pointed feedback from all stakeholders. We wish the team well to arrive at a much needed curriculum"

"The apprenticeship program model seems quite helpful. It will be beneficial to bridge the gap between the industry and academia and will enable students to adjust well in both the environments. It also sounds like a useful course for one's career future in this field"

"It was interesting to learn about internships possible through this opportunity. A connect between practical work and academics would be helpful and would prepare students well for the profession."

"After learning about the apprenticeship model, I thought it is a great way to become ready for the industry while also gaining knowledge through academia. Having a practical experience while receiving education simultaneously sounds like a valuable experience. It would be very useful for students."
