Civil engineering professionals often require an extensive understanding of construction management due to the strategic benefits it can bring to both individuals and project teams. As the industry becomes more competitive, organisations are increasingly demanding the combined time, cost and quality assurances that good project management practice provides. MSc Civil Engineering and Construction Management will interest you if you are a civil engineering professional looking to broaden your knowledge and technical expertise and expand your career opportunities. For those of you from a different engineering background, the programme offers you the opportunity to develop key civil engineering and construction management skills to be able to commence a career within the built environment industry. You’ll gain a deep understanding of the core technical skills and personal qualities required to work within the dynamic industry at the highest possible technical level and the programme will provide you with an accredited route to becoming a Chartered Engineer. During the master’s programme, you’ll gain relevant specialist expertise in civil and structural engineering that is of most interest to you, develop the applied mathematical skills required by professional engineers, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the concepts, principles, theories, and sustainability issues in construction. This career-focused master’s programme combines elements of construction project management, and civil and structural engineering to provide a broad and valuable education. Upon completion, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to prepare you for a wide range of technical and managerial careers across the sector, both nationally and internationally, working in areas such as general construction, transport, water and wastewater engineering.
A minimum of a 2:2 honours degree or non-UK equivalent with evidence of understanding subjects such as water, structures, geotechnics or materials. Degree must also include some numeracy.
Degrees with elements of construction may be considered with evidence of mathematical, numerical or engineering content.
