COURSE CURRICULUM

This MSc in Construction Project Management is structured to equip students with the essential knowledge and applied skills necessary to manage construction projects from conception to completion in an increasingly digital and sustainability-driven industry. Central to the course is the MSc Dissertation, which allows students to engage in a critical, in-depth investigation on a subject of interest within the built environment, fostering their ability to conduct independent research, analyze data, and present findings in a professional and scholarly format. The curriculum includes Applied Project Management, which develops students’ abilities to apply practical tools and techniques across the project lifecycle, and Construction Project Management, which focuses on core management principles and soft skills required in real-world scenarios. Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Digital Construction emphasizes the integration of digital technologies and collaborative workflows in modern construction projects. The Construction Procurement and Contract Law Practices module provides critical insight into legal frameworks, procurement strategies, and risk allocation essential for effective project delivery and contract management. Sustainable and Healthy Buildings examines the growing importance of environmental and health considerations in the built environment, encouraging students to consider the long-term impacts of their work. Complementing these are modules such as Risk Management, which delves into identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risks throughout a project’s lifecycle, and Development Economics and Planning, which addresses the balance between urban development and sustainability goals. Research Methods provides a foundational understanding of research strategies, data collection, and critical thinking, directly supporting the dissertation. Together, the course offers a comprehensive education that blends theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, preparing graduates for leadership roles in construction project management, digital construction, sustainability consultancy, and contract administration. The program is well-suited for those aiming to contribute to innovative, responsible, and efficient practices in the construction and built environment sectors.
