Description
This course has been created to help construction professionals become more effective by developing the generic and specialist project management skills required in the construction industry. It is designed to develop and enhance the skills of civil engineers and other construction professionals who feel that their earlier training has not prepared them adequately for managerial responsibility. It prepares students for challenges of the changing and increasingly global construction industry.
The course covers construction processes from inception and feasibility, design, contact and construction through to commissioning and maintenance. Particular emphasis is placed on financial, planning and management aspects of a project life cycle. The flexible nature of the course offers you the opportunity to strengthen existing technical and engineering skills.
Upon graduation you may expect to find employment in the construction industry as a Construction Manager. Opportunities also exist with multidisciplinary consulting organisations. Many of our graduates return to work for government agencies and other large client organisations.
