Civil Engineering Project Management MSc

The MSc Civil Engineering Project Management aims to help you establish or advance your career in the global construction industry. Designed with input from industry, the course teaches an innovative mix of technical and construction project management, applicable to civil engineering contexts.

• The course takes a multidisciplinary approach, aiming to equip you with clear educational and technical knowledge of how advanced engineering planning, analysis and design, contract law, finance, procurement, and project management interrelate in the modern construction industry.
• You will have the opportunity to learn the laboratory testing procedures and technics used to assess material and structural performance, using modern and upgraded loading equipment automated with data loggers, saturated and unsaturated stress path soil testing apparatus and commercial civil engineering material mixing and synthesising equipment.
• The course culminates in a research project, during which you should be able to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired so far from your academic training on real structural problems.

Normal entry requires a minimum 2:2 UK or overseas undergraduate honours degree in Civil Engineering.

• IELTS: 6.5 overall, with no component lower than 5.5. If you don't meet the English language requirements, you can achieve the level you need by successfully completing a pre-sessional English programme before you start your course.

On successful completion of the course a student will be able to:

• Apply knowledge and wide-ranging understanding of health, safety & environment principles, and legal framework within which the construction industry operates, and undertake full ethical and professional responsibilities in the discharge of their duties.
• Demonstrate an applied in-depth knowledge and detailed understanding of cost, structural and hydrological analysis, highway, pavement and hydraulic design, innovative construction, and maintenance techniques to civil engineering infrastructure.
• Apply innovative and advanced computational methods and simulation tools to model and analyse complex environmental systems.
• Apply wide-ranging understanding of experimental, analytical & numerical techniques for investigative studies in hydrological, structural, environmental & geotechnical engineering.
• Apply critical understanding in proposal development and writing; use innovative knowledge in sourcing, analysing, and presenting data; and apply research methodologies to undertake independent investigation and academic writing of a specialised topic.
• Demonstrate personal abilities in teamwork, leadership, and communication.
• Critically evaluate and apply corporate strategy and systems theory to the management of projects in engineering and construction industry.
• Demonstrate knowledge & understanding of the principles of consultancy and the theories and practices found in leadership.
