This programme addresses management in the construction industry in its widest sense. The purpose is to provide advanced training to graduates aspiring to higher or middle management positions in design, construction and project management organisations.

It addresses the working of those organisations, as well as disciplines and techniques of practical use in the management and implementation of all stages of construction and civil engineering projects. This opens up a wide range of career opportunities, as many of the techniques are applicable both within and outside the construction industry.

The programme includes lectures, tutorials, workshops, industrial seminars, site visits, guest lecturers and, for the MSc, an individual project.

The syllabus covers:

* Project management for construction
* Finance and core skills
* Sustainable construction
* Engineering production and project risk management
* Asset management
* Construction technology
* Industrial seminars and workshops
