This Masters degree has been created to help construction professionals develop and enhance the project management skills required in the construction industry.
You’ll prepare for the challenges of the changing and increasingly global construction industry with a focus on the financial, planning and management aspects of a project life cycle. You’ll explore construction processes from inception and feasibility, design, contact and construction through to commissioning, maintenance, renewal and decommissioning. The philosophy of the course is to develop a “whole life” understanding of constructed facilities and infrastructure.
A choice of optional modules will allow you to strengthen existing technical and engineering skills, or gain an understanding of a new topic. The programme offers you the opportunity to undertake projects in a multi-disciplinary environment, with access to the expertise in the School’s research themes.
A bachelor degree with a 2:1 (hons) in civil engineering or a related construction discipline where relevant subject areas have been studied. Applications from professionally qualified and experienced candidates will also be considered.
A bachelor degree with a 2:2 (hons) will be considered for candidates with at least three years’ relevant experience in the construction industry.
Due to the competitive nature of this course, the Admissions team may take a variety of factors into account when assessing applications.
