Student Destinations

In the construction industry, project management has increasingly moved away from traditional approaches to be more integrated, fusing together the design and construction elements once viewed as separate management disciplines. For a graduate entering construction management, you will need to be ready to cope with high demands and expectations.

By providing you with both technical knowledge, and crucial skills in stakeholder management, strategic planning, communications and problem-solving, the course is ideal preparation for roles working in the architecture, engineering and construction industries.  This course has an exceptionally high graduate employment rate, with alumni now working in the built environment, civil engineering, heavy engineering, offshore and petrochemical industries.

As a construction project manager, you will typically find roles in a wide range of organisations, including construction companies, project management consultancies, and government departments.
