This 'ideal' course sounds like the courses at Bath University 1978-1984. What happened ?

Wish I knew such a program existed: after 7 years having pursued the regular path (graduated 2024), I'm planning to bind my background with a WIL Construction Management Programme either at BCIT or Loughborough Uni so that I can later pivot to Property Development after gaining the essentials of a reliable contractor through the CPM pathway. I suppose it will also fill the knowledge gaps that Architecture/ Academia failed to satisfy. NB: Appreciate the Insight and Barker's bravery to endevour in reforming the priestly system.
