Overview

We are introducing a blended approach that combines the benefits of online learning with the engaging elements of live interaction. The format features a mix of in-class and live, synchronous sessions alongside interactive online materials and activities — retaining the structure and personal connection of face-to-face courses while offering the convenience and accessibility of online learning.

The Construction Project Management Programme has been structured to give students a thorough understanding of construction project management and its application in the built environment, covering the proven generic areas of project management while introducing students to built environment CPM applications. The involvement of both academic experts and experienced property professionals ensures a rich and practical learning experience.
