What this course is about
UCAS code: K203
Here's what University of Salford says about its Construction Project Management course.
The course covers the essential practical and technical processes involved in Construction Project Management.? It provides you with a good understanding of the role of the construction management professional and the varied tasks associated with the role, as well as offering an underpinning to the professional management side of a construction project.
The delivery of the programme will be full-time or part-time; predominantly face to face lectures, with some online delivery where this style suits the module, and guided tutorials to support learning in both the academic and on-site arenas. Methods of assessment may vary but generally will be a mix of coursework, project-based groupwork, examinations and presentations. Assessments are based on both live projects and specific built environment scenarios to ensure students gain the relevant skills to apply and contextualise theory and practice in both an academic and industrial setting.
You will learn and develop areas within the role of the Construction Project Manager, including:
-
How project management tools are used to supervise and monitor resources including materials, time, cost and labour on a construction project
-
Control of quality of works on a construction project
-
The control of health and safety standards on construction projects
-
Recording, control and reporting of progress on a construction project
-
The minimisation of the environmental impact of construction projects
-
Assisting commercial staff with the monitoring of costs on a construction project
You will be introduced to the built environment sector and its processes and will develop your practical competencies and industry knowledge. Course content includes sustainable construction technology, legal and contractual procedures, and management.
There is a particular focus on recent innovations, including modern methods of construction and digital process management (e.g. building information modelling), as well as an emphasis on the significance of the sustainability agenda relating to the built environment.
You'll also develop your problem-solving skills - the course will allow you to build your knowledge to enable you to provide sound and justified management advice and guidance in a variety of different formats. To aid this, you'll be encouraged to develop your technical writing and presentation skills throughout the course.
