What you'll learn

MSc Construction Asset Management with Digital Technologies is focused on developing the breadth of technical expertise required by a student to effectively manage physical assets using the most relevant digital resources. The course is intended for applicants who may have some employment experience in the area of asset management, and are seeking to progress, or redirect, their career in the industry by gaining a master's level qualification in management discipline that is directly relevant to their future career plans. Apart from the technical content, MSc courses are unique, as there is a strong emphasis on professional life and employability skills, embedded throughout all aspects of your advanced technical course focusing on enhanced key skills such as communication, digital proficiency, intelligence (like emotional and social) and teamwork. The programme will also offer an optional placement year to all students, enabling them to experience the real world and effectively connect their university experience with it.

How you'll learn

All modules include coursework, for which you will have opportunities to apply your knowledge to engineering projects based on real-life scenarios. The coursework will include analysis and design projects, research reports, group and seminar presentations, and a research dissertation project.

You will also attend lectures, seminars, and tutorials and you will work both individually and in groups. 

To support the hands-on nature of this course, we have an impressive range of facilities. Our modern, well-equipped laboratories are open to students all day and include dedicated labs. We also have superb computer facilities and the very latest design and key software.

Expert feedback and support are always on offer from our dedicated team of academics, all experts in their particular disciplines.

Our MSc courses are some of the most flexible around. Engineers employed in the industry have found that the part-time model can easily be tailored to suit their personal requirements.

About the industrial placement year
 
This course is also available as a two-year master's with an industrial placement year. The industrial placement is designed to address the demands of the profession and give students a competitive edge when it comes to their careers. The industrial placement component is for the duration of an academic year, i.e., normally 30 weeks including a minimum of 24 weeks of delivery time. It starts after students have successfully completed the first year of study, i.e., all the taught modules and the dissertation component of the MSc course which together form 180 credits. Please refer to the course specification for the summary of the course structure and further information.

Students on the MSc with Placement courses must pass all taught modules of their respective course plus dissertation to gain 180 credits before they become eligible to progress to the next stage and undertake an industrial placement. Students on the MSc course with placement will also normally be required to fulfil the 80% attendance requirement (on all modules) to be eligible to progress to the industrial placement. Students unable to meet the above requirements to progress successfully will normally be moved to the one-year full-time version of the course and their student visa, if any, will be curtailed accordingly.

It is ultimately the student's responsibility to secure their placement and the University cannot guarantee placements. The University will offer guidance and support and recommend students to many of our industrial partners who have expressed strong support and interest in the programme. 

During the industrial placement period, you will undertake an internship within a partner organisation (or by means of alternative arrangements such as projects led by industry and carried out on campus) and complete a zero-credit Industrial Placement Module. 

There are additional fees for the placement module (in the second year of the course), in addition to the fees for the taught modules and dissertation paid in the first year.

How you will be assessed

We assess you through a mixture of coursework, design drawings, oral examinations, your research dissertation and an end-of-term exam. You will be supported throughout your journey by timely feedback and support from your academic advisor and other support structures.
