MSc Construction Economics and Management

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time, 5 years flexible

Course Description

The programme is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and aims to develop students’ knowledge and skills under two mutually supporting themes, for which The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction has an international reputation:

  • The economics and finance of construction at project, firm and industry levels
  • The management of construction projects and enterprises

Construction is taken in its widest sense to include infrastructure and the supply chain.

Entry Requirements

UCL’s minimum qualifications are a lower second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. However, there is a heavy demand for places on this programme and in practice a significantly higher standard will be required unless the applicant can offer professional qualifications or five years of more of relevant practical experience.
