Modern 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 and their clients are increasingly demanding the combined time, cost and quality assurances that good project management practice provides. Furthermore, the industry now recognises that there is a need for engineers to gain specialist technical knowledge that complements their academic and professional background.

The MSc/Postgraduate Diploma in Civil Engineering and Construction Management provides students with a combination of courses designed to improve their knowledge and understanding of advanced civil engineering and modern construction management theory and practice.

The programme structure consists of eight optional taught courses (students choose a minimum of two Construction Management (CM) courses and a minimum of five technical Civil Engineering (tCE) courses).

The range of available taught courses are listed below. MSc students also complete an independent research project and dissertation.

Please note that the programme structure below is to illustrate the distribution of teaching and is subject to developmental change.

Semester 1

• Project Management: Theory and Practice (CM)
• Value and Risk Management (CM)
• Ground Engineering (tCE)
• Design and Analysis of Tall Steel Buildings (tCE)
• Environmental Hydrology and Water Resources (tCE)
• Sustainability in Civil Engineering (non-technical)

Semester 2

Project Management: Strategic Issues (CM)
