Focusing on the project management of capital projects, this programme develops your understanding of the construction development process, from clients developing their requirements, through the design, procurement and construction stages, to the final occupation and maintenance of the new facilities. You will learn about construction from the perspective of the contractor and from the perspective of clients, funders, and designers.

The programme addresses the design and technology of buildings and the management of the construction process through four main subject themes: management; technology; construction production process; and business environment.

The student-led UCL Construction and Property Society provides an opportunity to observe construction within and outside the UK through field trips and site visits.
