Construction Management (Part-time) (Hons) Liverpool John Moores University

Overview

Students of the Construction Management (Part-time) (Hons) course offered by Liverpool John Moores University are required to purchase their own site safety boots to be able to attend organised site visits. There is the option for study visits within the course which will incur additional costs. Locations may change. 

Construction management is concerned with the design and construction of buildings and has become more complex as technology and the mechanisation of the building process have developed. Construction managers need excellent interpersonal skills as well as in-depth technical knowledge of all aspects of the construction process so that they can handle the responsibility of managing multi-million pound projects.

You will develop a good understanding of factors affecting the design, procurement, sustainability, and management of the building process. Particular focus is on technology, production and project management through the complete life-cycle of a project.

Employability

Career prospects for construction management graduates are excellent, with many students securing their first professional position working for multi-national contractors and consultancies and also for organisations within the supply chain either before or after graduation. You can work in the Public or the Private sector and will be equipped with skills to work in the building or civil engineering field and also within Facilities Management.

However, the skills that are obtained within the programme, albeit focused around construction, can be applied into other areas such as financial control and project planning and management of resources.

You can also enjoy varied career opportunities overseas in addition to the UK.

If you decide not to go into the profession, however, you can still take advantage of your transferable skills and work experience to enter other careers.
