The Professional Degree in Construction Management is a practice-oriented program designed to prepare students for professional roles in the planning, coordination, execution, and management of construction projects. The course provides a strong foundation in construction technology, materials, measurement, structures, economics, and management principles, enabling students to understand how buildings and infrastructure are conceived, costed, constructed, and delivered.
Throughout the program, students progressively develop technical competencies in construction methods, draughtsmanship, digital construction tools, building services, work measurement, estimating, tendering, and value management, alongside essential managerial skills such as planning and scheduling, financial management, site management, safety, and quality control. Legal and contractual knowledge is emphasized through units covering construction law, land law, contract administration, and construction business practice, ensuring graduates are capable of operating within regulatory and professional frameworks. Advanced studies in development economics, sustainable construction, mechanical and electrical works measurement, urban and land economics, and project implementation prepare students to manage complex projects efficiently and responsibly.
The inclusion of undergraduate projects allows students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world construction problems through research and practical analysis. Overall, the program equips graduates with the technical expertise, managerial competence, ethical awareness, and problem-solving skills required to perform effectively as construction managers, project coordinators, site managers, quantity surveying assistants, or to pursue further professional development within the construction and built environment industry.
The Professional Degree in Construction Management is a comprehensive and practice-oriented programme designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and professional competencies required to manage construction projects from inception to completion. The course integrates construction technology, measurement, economics, law, and management with hands-on learning in planning, scheduling, estimating, tendering, site management, safety, and quality control.
Emphasis is placed on understanding construction processes, materials, building services, and digital construction tools, alongside the development of managerial, financial, and contractual expertise essential for effective project delivery. The programme also addresses sustainability, development economics, value management, and regulatory frameworks to ensure graduates can respond to contemporary industry challenges responsibly and efficiently.
Through progressively structured coursework and undergraduate projects, students gain practical experience and analytical skills, preparing them for professional roles in construction management, project coordination, site supervision, and related fields within the built environment industry.
