The capability to plan, conduct, present and report a major independent research project in construction and project management.

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

Students’ intellectual skills are developed through lectures, tutorials, directed reading, problem-solving scenarios and student presentations.
Opportunity for the development of intellectual skills within the programme is given by the individual and independent research project work. The range of topics covered in the program will develop the student’s ‘problem solving skills’ to a high level and help them to think in new and imaginative ways to solve difficult real life problems on construction site and organisations.
Students’ intellectual skills are further developed through approved induction programmes, mentoring at practical working at their host company / organisation, together with regular Supervision by QUB CPM Staff.

Methods of Assessment

During Year 1:
Assessment is made using coursework and oral presentations by both individuals and project groups.
In the case of the MSc independent Research Project, assessment will be a substantial written dissertation.
During Year 2:
Assessment will be made using Interim and Final Written reports prepared by the student, together with a Final PowerPoint Presentation and a Q&A Session led by QUB CPM Supervisory Staff. Assessment may also take Internship reports from host Mentors into account for the PASS/FAIL assessment. (Mentors will be approved by QUB during the Internship approval process).
