This course is aimed at industry professionals seeking to acquire advanced, strategic level skills as project managers in the global construction industry and built environment who are wishing to progress towards managerial positions.
To take up such roles, Project Managers need to be able to apply knowledge to optimise and solve complex issues in a very dynamic industry, with a clear understanding of business implications. This course aims to enable the understanding of process and production management issues, including planning and control approaches, procurement and contract management strategies, the management of resources, and how information technology can be applied to support successful project outcomes with a clear focus on Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM).

This Master’s degree also forms part of an integrated suite of built environment postgraduate taught courses within the School of Arts and Humanities which mark an exciting new development in the subject area and draws on the skills of leading researchers and practitioners.
