Construction and project management
Construction management joins the technical side with time, cost and people. A degree does not replace a trade qualification, but it can help someone aiming at a coordinating role.
These are study areas to explore, not programmes we provide and not confirmation that a university has places.
What you may study
- The life of a construction project
- Cost, time and risk
- Working with teams and contractors
- Safety and regulation, at an introductory level
Skills you may develop
- Planning
- Communication between office and site
- Reading a plan
- Deciding with incomplete information
Possible career directions
- Project coordination
- Estimating or planning support
- Site management roles, alongside your experience
- Further technical specialisation
The directions above are examples, not promised jobs and not salaries.
Who may find this interesting
It is often explored by people already working in construction who want a step towards greater responsibility.
Typical entry considerations
Practical experience may count at some universities and be irrelevant at others. It has to be checked individually.
Exact entry requirements vary between universities and programmes.
