Develop the digital, data-driven, and leadership skills that construction employers are looking for and apply them in real-world projects.
This MSc is designed for graduates and early- to mid-career professionals aiming to progress into construction project management roles in the UK and internationally. The programme provides a structured, practical approach, helping you build confidence and competence in a supportive learning environment.
You’ll gain hands-on experience, work on real projects, and complete a capstone research, innovation and enterprise project that demonstrates your expertise to future employers.
The curriculum covers all core aspects of construction project management and reflects contemporary industry practice. You’ll study four compulsory modules, focusing on:
- Sustainable construction
- Managing risk and uncertainty using data-driven solutions
- Professional and ethical project management
- BIM and other digital tools for project management
The capstone project allows you to apply research, analytical, and entrepreneurial skills to a contemporary construction challenge, producing innovative solutions that are directly relevant to the industry.
Every element of the course is designed to develop practical knowledge, digital competence, and strategic thinking, preparing you to manage complex construction projects in diverse contexts.
By the time you graduate, you’ll be a confident, digitally capable construction project manager, ready to lead projects, make data-informed decisions, and deliver innovative, sustainable solutions in a fast-evolving industry.

Careers
This programme is designed with your future in mind.
It is closely aligned to the competencies required by leading professional bodies and has a strong vocational focus, ensuring you graduate with skills that are directly relevant to industry.
You will be prepared for roles such as:
- Construction project management
- Project management support within contracting organisations or consultancies
- Client-side project coordination
- Public sector project management
- BIM management
With your blend of technical knowledge, leadership skills, and digital project delivery expertise, you could manage complex construction projects, work with contractors to deliver infrastructure and engineering programmes, or take on client-side or consultancy roles overseeing project planning and delivery.
Learning and Assessment
How you’ll learn:
You will learn through a mix of lectures, seminars, practical workshops, and guided independent study, all designed to help you apply theory to real-world practice. Learning activities encourage critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration within a diverse student cohort. You will also have opportunities to engage with industry through guest speakers, case studies, site visits, and collaborative projects, giving you first-hand experience of contemporary construction project management.
How you’ll be assessed:
Assessment combines individual and group-based tasks, helping you develop independent learning alongside teamwork, leadership, and professional skills. Methods are designed to reflect industry practice and test both academic knowledge and applied problem solving. The 60-credit capstone project allows you to choose between a consultancy-focused project, an entrepreneurial project, or an applied research project, with flexibility in the format of your output, such as a strategic proposal, reflective log, or presentation. This approach ensures you graduate with evidence of practical expertise ready for the workplace.
Hands-on learning in state-of-the-art facilities
Based at the Dorothy Buchanan Building, a modern hub for learning and innovation, you’ll have access to a range of specialist facilities designed for practical, hands-on learning.
The building features project studios, digital and environmental laboratories, an engineering and fabrication workshop, a CAD suite, and creative breakout spaces.
These resources give you the space and equipment to experiment, design, and develop solutions to real-world challenges across sustainability, computing, and the built environment.
