Course Overview

A good Construction Project Manager is essential to the success of any development.  Every project, whether a new build or renovation, residential development, skyscraper, or infrastructure project, needs managing to ensure it is completed on time, within budget and to high quality. The Construction Project Manager works closely with the client, the design team and the contractor.  They are involved at every stage of a project and oversee every aspect, including the planning, execution, monitoring, control and closure of a project.

Studying Construction Project Management at USW will give you the necessary skills and adaptability required in an increasingly dynamic sector.  You will study the latest practice and procedures for the project management of new-build and refurbishment projects. Your studies will cover industrial initiatives such as strategic partnering and collaboration, prefabrication and offsite manufacture, lean construction techniques, and dispute resolution. You will also learn how to apply critical thinking to your experiences, which will help you work towards continuous professional development. We aim to provide you with the skills and qualifications for a rewarding and well-paid career.

Teaching

The Construction Project Management degree is taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and tutorials.

You will also get chance to participate in numerous site visits to local companies allowing you to see how the theory is applied in a professional setting. In addition to this, you will work independently to prepare for classes and complete project work.

Your studies here won’t confine you to a classroom. We don’t believe you can learn vital skills like analytical decision making and problem solving by just reading about them. That’s why we offer practical activities that help you understand and apply the theory you learn in lectures.

Plus you’ll have the chance to go on site visits to local companies.
