About this degree

The Project and Enterprise Management MSc aims to equip students with an advanced understanding of management principles related to the organisation, management and economics of construction projects and enterprises within the built environment. Emphasising the roles projects and enterprises play in construction and infrastructure, the programme provides a comprehensive appreciation of how projects should be defined, developed, and delivered within their wider context.

This programme is ideal for students with experience or a degree in the built environment, as well as those considering a career in this field. Relevant disciplines include engineering, architecture, surveying, construction management, urban planning and design, economics, finance, and sustainability-related topics.

As a programme primarily oriented towards the social sciences, it also welcomes students with degrees or experience in fields such as geography, business studies, and philosophy who aspire to apply their knowledge within the built environment context.

Who this course is for

The programme is particularly appropriate for students with backgrounds in design, construction, planning, surveying, management, legal and other associated built environment disciplines who wish to gain current knowledge in the management of construction projects and enterprises. However, those with other forms of industrial or government experience may also find the programme suited to their needs.
