Construction project management requires highly skilled individuals who can lead and integrate multidisciplinary teams of professionals. That could be you.
This challenging, industry-focused master's course supports you in developing both the academic and technical knowledge you'll need to be a construction project manager and the management and interpersonal skills essential for success in this career.
Our expert team will support you in building on the knowledge and experience you gained during your undergraduate studies or work experience, helping prepare you to take on the strategic responsibilities of managing construction projects. The course is based on the Chartered Institute of Building's definition of construction project management, which encompasses the whole project lifecycle, from inception to recycling. As such, sustainability is a key element of this course.
You should have an honours degree in an appropriate construction discipline (or a comparable relevant qualification from a UK or overseas institution); or
Professional body membership in an appropriate construction discipline e.g. Chartered Construction Manager, Chartered Builder, Chartered Surveyor, Chartered Architect, Chartered or Incorporated Engineer; or
Qualifications and/or experience equivalent to the above requirements, e.g. Higher National Certificate or Diploma and substantial experience at a senior level in construction; or
A non-cognate degree, and experience working over a long period in construction, e.g. construction lawyer.
We'll consider applications where appropriate work experience can be demonstrated in lieu of, or in addition to, the published academic qualifications in line with the University’s Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) procedures.
This programme is ideal if you already have construction-related employment experience and are aiming for senior positions in project management. It aims to develop your awareness of the importance of construction projects to clients, and the context and constraints in which projects are procured and undertaken.
As a construction project manager, you'll take the lead and play a pivotal role in the successful completion of construction projects. You'll be responsible for coordinating the wide range of resources involved in construction projects, such as labour, materials, finance and consultants, to achieve the client's goals – on time, within budget and to the quality standards required. As a successful graduate of this course, you'll have developed the management, leadership and problem-solving qualities necessary for a career in this varied, rewarding and challenging field.
