To be a successful leader in facilities management, you need insights from differing professional and sector perspectives. You’ll gain this knowledge, skills and expertise across two core modules which provide an integrated learning experience.

You’ll explore topics such as strategy, leadership, projects, and asset management. You can also develop specialist knowledge in areas such as sustainability and digital technology.

Applied learning
We think the best way to learn something is to do it in the real world. Our knowledge-applied approach to learning focuses strongly on learning from experience in the business world.

Live Projects
We bring the 'real' business world into your learning experience by using live case studies linked to accessible organisations – and by applying concepts, theories and research to your own organisation. This means you can make your learning a truly relevant and meaningful experience.
