These days, it's no longer enough for business to simply own and run property and other property-based resources. They must be managed economically, efficiently and effectively, so as to provide maximum income or output.
This course will train you in the principles and methods of successful facilities management, from technological processes to commercial considerations. You'll gain insights and make valuable contacts through industry visits and guest speakers who are current industry practitioners.
Accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, this internationally-recognised course will provide you with a stepping stone to professional qualifications. Broad-based in its outlook, it caters to students from a wide range of backgrounds who can bring skills from their current disciplines to the field. Ideally, you'll have a construction-related degree, but those with degrees in Management, Accountancy or even Social Sciences have successfully completed the course.
Skills
Through direct teaching and research, you'll learn the principles involved in facilities management. You'll develop your ability to analyse, assess and design solutions, and gain an understanding of the business drivers and constraints that influence these solutions. Problem solving skills will be highlighted, as well as effective communication and presentation methods.
