This course is aimed at industry professionals seeking to acquire advanced, strategic level skills as project managers in the global construction industry and built environment who are wishing to progress towards managerial positions.
To take up such roles, Project Managers need to be able to apply knowledge to optimise and solve complex issues in a very dynamic industry, with a clear understanding of business implications. This course aims to enable the understanding of process and production management issues, including planning and control approaches, procurement and contract management strategies, the management of resources, and how information technology can be applied to support successful project outcomes with a clear focus on Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM). The advanced level nature of the course also aims to prepare you for further research in the field, either within academia or for consultant organisations, providing the skills and competencies necessary for a Project Manager to successfully deliver global projects.
This Master’s degree also forms part of an integrated suite of built environment postgraduate taught courses within the School of Arts and Humanities which mark an exciting new development in the subject area and draws on the skills of leading researchers and practitioners.
Entry requirements for this course are normally:
An Honours degree (2:2 or above) in a relevant subject or an equivalent professional qualification.
Alternative qualifications and/or significant experience may be accepted, subject to approval.
Graduates from the Advanced Project Management in Construction MA are well-placed to progress into a wide range of roles across the built environment. Alumni could go on to work as Site Managers, Construction Managers, Assistant Site Managers or Site Supervisors, leading on the successful delivery of projects. Opportunities also span technical and design-focused careers such as Civil Engineer, Site Engineer, Design Manager, Technical Coordinator and Infrastructure Engineer. These roles can be found with construction firms, consultancies, local authorities and specialist organisations involved in shaping the future of our built environment.
