Within the rapidly evolving, expanding and thriving global construction industries, the role of Construction Project Managers (CPM) is in high demand. The responsibilities of a Construction Project Manager (CPM) range from logistically leading / managing projects including risks through the project life-cycle to building completion and beyond. Being able to negotiate challenges, and issues such as environment, sustainability, resource, and material procurement shortfalls are integral to the role.
If you are a graduate in or with previous construction-related employment or you’re seeking a senior project management position within the industry, this is the course for you. You will gain an in-depth understanding of the specific issues and complexities that are part of construction project management. You’ll develop the skills needed to find solutions that meet the client’s requirements and expectations, whilst evaluating the environmental impact, time, and budget in the most efficient way.
You will explore digital construction, technical skills, construction methodologies, and organisational procedures. This will allow you to gain insight into the holistic leadership and management of all aspects of construction project lifecycles. You will also explore lean thinking and active decision-making in order to successfully drive and manage projects.
Applicants should hold at least a 2:2 honours degree in a relevant architecture or construction-related subject including, but not limited to, architecture, architectural technology, interior design, construction management, surveying and civil engineering.
Non-standard applications from all candidates will be considered on their merits in light of the nature and scope of the programmes and if they have experience.
Our course in Construction Project Management provides a pathway to a successful career within the construction industry. We have strong industry links with companies such as Arup, Atkins, Jacobs, WSP and locally organisations such as Forest of Dean Council, Gloucester City Council and Natural England provide opportunities for internships, practical challenges, and workshops that will prepare you a career in construction. These industry connections not only enhance your graduate prospects but also provide a practical context for your studies.
