The field is commonly offered as a postgraduate programmer if you desire an accredited construction management qualification but didn’t study the topic at the undergraduate level. Most people choose to get their Master of Science (MSc) in construction management or project management.

You normally need at least a 2:1 undergraduate degree in a relevant field to get admitted to a master’s programmer. A relevant subject is one that is in “the built environment or relevant engineering, scientific, or management disciplines,” according to The University of Manchester.

A 2:2 will be adequate for some courses, such as the MSc NVQ’s level 6 construction management offered by the University College of Estate Management (UCEM). Additionally, if you can show that you have an interest in the construction sector, many colleges will accept you without requiring that you have previously studied a comparable subject. Students who are older and have work experience may also qualify.

When pursued full-time, master’s degrees typically need 12 months to complete; however, part-time and online study options are also available. They provide thorough instruction in both Construction Management theory and practice.

Examples of required courses include:

Financial management in construction, sustainability and environmental management, contracts and procurement

Smart building projects must be managed within an economic, legal, and political framework.

Many times, you can choose from a few optional modules to specialize in the topics you find most interesting. Additionally, you’ll need to finish a big assignment or write a dissertation.

The average cost of tuition for an MSc in construction management is between £7,000 and $10,000. Take into account that you may receive postgraduate money to help with your education.
