MScConstruction and Project Management
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.
You'll be taught in a class of around 50 if you’re a full-time student, alongside people – from places like India, China, Vietnam and Egypt. Our teaching starts in the 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 the facilities within the School.
