Course content

Construction Managers are highly trained professionals who are involved in a wide spectrum of projects ranging from simple residential dwellings to complex infrastructure projects. Construction Management involves a suite of skills which are essential to transforming the client’s brief through the management of the construction process up to the readiness for operation of that project. Our MSc Construction Management is designed to develop these requisite skills for the smooth administration of the project through its lifecycle. It is a fully supported online programme that offers great flexibility for you to earn while you learn and study where ever you are based in the world.

This is one of a suite of MSc conversion programmes that enable graduates from disciplines unrelated to Real Estate and Construction to obtain a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)/Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)/Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) accredited degree, giving access to professional membership.
