The construction industry is at a crossroads. The transition to a more sustainable society poses big challenges — and opportunities — for the sector. New materials, methods, and technologies are coming to the forefront, with accompanying demands for up-to-date, specialized education. This MSc in Design and Construction Project Management program will train you to analyze and understand these changes, developing the skills essential for tackling these challenges in a responsible and effective manner.

Despite turbulence in the global economy, the construction industry continues to grow with revenue expected to reach US$15 trillion by 2025. Specialist project managers are in high demand to help negotiate projects through the inevitable hurdles that can arise due to a host of issues ranging from time constraints and safety and workforce considerations to legal issues, government regulations and environmental concerns. Fully accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), this course will be of interest if you are a graduate in or with previous construction-related employment and if you are seeking a senior project management position within the industry. Project management is now a well-established discipline within the construction industry, applied to projects of all sizes and levels of complexity. In this course, you’ll learn the modern management skills, techniques, and systems to successfully deliver a project from inception to completion, and how to meet a client’s requirements within the constraints of the external environment. Our central London location and numerous industry contacts, which include client organisations, public and private Tier 1 consultants and contractors and Tier 2 consultants, contractors and suppliers, enable us to invite practising professionals to contribute regularly to the course and to give guest lectures. You'll have the chance to apply your skills and knowledge to real-life practical problems through case studies. When possible, we also visit construction sites in London, so you can see how developers overcome some of the issues associated with developing in a challenging environment like the centre of a large metropolis, such as traffic and transportation.

The master's programme in Real Estate and Construction Management opens the door to engaging professions in real estate development, law, economics and finance, and construction management.

The goal of this specializing master's is to teach the most important tools and techniques of project and contract management to both engineers and architects. Today it is increasingly important to know how a project should be managed from beginning to end, to optimize costs and time. During this specialization master's, the students will be introduced to the theory of project management, the valuation of investments, and the principles of corporate accounting. Students will receive all the needed information to take the exam and obtain the PMI (Project Management Institute) and IPMA (International Project Management Association) certificates. They will also receive all the information necessary to take the exam and obtain the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management. Students will receive all the information necessary to become a Lean Green Belt Project Leader, and also all the information necessary to become certified project managers in Italy through Accredia. Besides all those PM tools, this specializing master will also provide more specific concepts of contract, claims, and delays management in civil and infrastructural works. The need for technicians (engineers and/or architects) who become competent in the management of contracts and claims and who can perform a delay analysis in accordance with commonly applied international standards is increasingly urgent among the major general contractors in Italy and abroad. Our globalized world requires that professionals involved in contract and dispute management know how to deal with complex technical issues and at the same time know the legal aspects involved. It is essential for professionals with a purely technical background to know the "rules of the game" in the international arena. Therefore, they should know the fundamental principles of civil and common law, as well as international arbitration, together with the most widely used international contracts (FIDIC, JCT, NEC, AAA) and the many complex technical and legal details in the analysis and management of delays and construction variants.

Humans spend around 90 % of their time indoors. For our well-being, we need enough light and fresh air and the temperature should be comfortable. As a result, not only do residential buildings, offices and shops need enough space, but they also demand plenty of energy - these are two resources which are coming under close scrutiny when thinking about creating a sustainable future. This degree programme focuses on technology in the real estate sector which can be used to run buildings efficiently whilst also being user-friendly. More and more buildings with sustainable, user-friendly and highend technology are planned and built every year. Nevertheless, there is still a high number of buildings in existence which have a long lifespan and poor energy efficiency. This degree programme concentrates on action and strategies which can be implemented to improve existing infrastructures with regard to their use of resources and equip them with digital technology to create more user friendliness for all involved, whether that be owners, administrators or users.
