Msc Project management Studied in Constructions:

MSc Project Management in Construction verview
Property Management, and design construction
The design, construction and property industries are main sectors of the economy with significance at both countries. How they interact with each other is particularly for the design of educational programmes. The School's view of the relationship between these industries is that the primary focus of the construction industry is on processes that lead to products - in that sense the construction industry is predominantly interested in supply-side issues. On the other hand, it is the use and occupation to which those products are put that concerns the property industry - making it a predominantly demand-side industry. The design industry is the creative force behind the processes and the solutions.

Study in these fields must recognise the importance of process, products and use/occupation. Educational programmes should provide a balance of studies across the full range of these issues and, additionally, the need to develop the individual, particularly in relation to key skills. Philosophy behind the programmes
The full-time or part-time Programme is designed to provide study that is both academically rigorous and provides the specific professional expertise in the student's chosen discipline, such that graduates may play a leading proactive role within industry.
Degree programmes are developed to provide a broad yet rigorous grounding in the principles and concepts of design, construction and property management whilst at the same time developing the student's abilities to be innovative and creative in solving unique problems.
Aims and objectives
The programmes are designed to meet the needs of individuals and corporations in managing change in a fast moving business and project environment. The programme emphasises the need for integration in projects and leadership in performance improvement.
The aim is to produce reflective practitioners able to initiate and implement change in the design, construction and property industries.
In designing the programme, the intention is to:
develop and deliver quality programmes that are responsive to the needs of both students and the construction and property industries
create an academic environment that promotes learning and the pursuit of knowledge
provide students with an education that allows them to fulfil their potential and prepares them for progression within their chosen discipline
engender key transferable skills of team-working, communication, problem-solving and innovation

encourage students to recognise the value of research
The principal learning objectives are that on successful completion of the programme a student will:
have acquired a knowledge and understanding of project and process management and recognise the significance of process, technology and people to the success of projects in the design, property and construction industries
be able to organise and plan construction projects and manage project information
critically examine existing practice through implementing process measurement and evaluate alternative strategies for process improvement
analyse corporate problems and design and implement strategies for change
lead and work effectively with project teams and communicate effectively in a variety of forms.So Project management is very crucial to all the levels of management and other concerned bodies.
