A career in construction management can therefore be as diverse or as specialist as you want it to be in pursuing your own personal goals and ambitions.<br/><br/>Key Course Features:<br/>- Further opportunities to directly engage with industry through conferences, guest lectures and visits to live construction projects to observe site operations in practice<br/><br/><br/>- Wide-ranging industry-standard digital resources available for use on- and off-campus <br/><br/><br/>- Lectures are delivered in consecutive blocks as far as possible, to ensure flexible study time away from University.<br/><br/><br/>- A variety of teaching and learning methods are used to ensure that technical content is applied to typical construction scenarios<br/><br/><br/>- The Built Environment subject area is part of the Faculty of Art, Computing and Engineering (FACE) and therefore content benefits from association with arts, computing, engineering and renewable energy subject disciplines. <br/><br/><br/>If you are employed within the construction sector and intend to study on a part-time basis, please contact the Programme Leader Dr Gareth Carr as funding might well be available through schemes administered by sector skills organisations.
