Construction Project Management (Taught)

In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide.

Construction project managers are vital to the success of every major project, overseeing construction operations and managing schedules and budgets. The University of Greater Manchester's MSc in Construction Project Management offers you the skills and knowledge needed to plan, organise and control construction operations while building your expertise in all stages of the process.

Construction project management requires highly skilled individuals who can lead and integrate multidisciplinary teams of professionals. That could be you.

This challenging, industry-focused master's course supports you in developing both the academic and technical knowledge you'll need to be a construction project manager and the management and interpersonal skills essential for success in this career.

Our expert team will support you in building on the knowledge and experience you gained during your undergraduate studies or work experience, helping prepare you to take on the strategic responsibilities of managing construction projects. The course is based on the Chartered Institute of Building's definition of construction project management, which encompasses the whole project lifecycle, from inception to recycling. As such, sustainability is a key element of this course.

Our teaching staff bring vast industry experience to the course, and many are involved in leading research as part of their own professional development – which means they're currently involved directly in today's construction industry, here and all over the world.
