You could have been in professional practice for a while already: some of our previous students have been many years into their career when they join us. Or you may be a recent graduate, for example with a BEng, BA (architecture) or BSc. This Master's gives you the opportunity to acquire a management 'bolt on' on top of your engineering, architecture or construction related undergraduate degree. COURSE CONTENT The course's primary focus is on project management, which will give you the chance to take your career forward in any industry, not just in construction. We teach the principles of project management - the distinct discipline of working to agreed deadlines, starts and finishes on a given project - with an awareness of the global challenges facing the industry, not least the need to make construction sustainable. You will learn to apply management methods to design, engineering and construction problems, and be able to be plan, monitor and control construction projects by integrating technical knowledge with leadership, commercial and managerial skills. WHAT'S INVOLVED Through guest lecturers, case studies and optional site visits, you'll get an insight into how industrial companies work. Our graduates have been well received by local, national and international companies. THE ENVIRONMENT You'll be in a class of around 90 if you???re a full-time student, alongside people from places like India, Nigeria, China, Vietnam and Egypt. Our teaching starts in the early afternoon as we know some of you will need to take time off work to attend classes. You'll have the beautiful new Graduate School at your disposal as well as a dedicated base room and computer lab in the Elmwood building. Our Joint Board of Moderators accreditation means that if you have a\nrecognised undergraduate degree, when you graduate, you have the chance to become a chartered engineer.
