COURSE CURRICULUM

This construction-focused postgraduate program is designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and practical skills necessary for managing complex projects in the construction and property sectors. It begins with a strong emphasis on safety, health, and environmental risk management, where students learn about legislative frameworks, workplace health issues, and safety management systems that promote a proactive risk control culture on construction sites. Students also delve into construction economics and procurement, gaining insights into the foundations of the sector, economic theories, and how game theory applies to construction development. A vital component of the course is sustainable design and construction, where students explore lifecycle thinking, technologies, and systems necessary for creating environmentally responsible buildings. The program covers contract management and dispute resolution at both national and international levels, equipping students with tools to handle conflicts through arbitration and adjudication. Risk and value management is addressed through the analysis of live and hypothetical projects, focusing on identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks in global construction contexts. Financial management is also central, with a module that examines capital investment decisions, cost control, and cash flow management specific to construction firms. Construction project management provides a comprehensive overview of planning, leadership, communication, and conflict resolution in project delivery. Finally, students gain strategic insights in the module on Strategic Management in Construction and Property Enterprise, where they explore organizational goal-setting, corporate strategy development, and the analytical tools used to guide enterprise success in a competitive construction environment. Through this multidisciplinary approach, the program ensures that graduates are prepared to lead, manage, and innovate in modern construction and property industries with a focus on sustainability, strategic planning, and operational excellence.
