He brings to the department extensive practical and industrial experiences including research and academic skills. 

Professor Roger Flanagan is a well-known expert in the field of construction management nationally and internationally. He teaches at and visits many universities and schools of construction management around the world such as Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Sydney, USA, Sweden, South Africa, Istanbul, UK and many others. He has been the past president of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and holds many other responsibilities in construction management areas; he will be with us to cover many zones such as international business and organisational management.

Mike Hurst who has been involved with the industry for many years including teaching and writing academic books also will assist us with the course. He has a lot of experience and knowledge towards sustainability, organisation management and other areas of construction. 

The programme offers several optional and core modules encompassing different areas of construction engineering management. The range of modules on offer is fairly extensive. 

Teaching is complemented by coursework and project assignments, to most modules as part of the programme. These are intended to enable you to develop your management judgement and decision-making skills and to have opportunities to apply acquired knowledge to the development of practical solutions and critically evaluate different options in the process.

Students cover both individual and/or group projects and some of them have industrial involvement. The final core module will provide the opportunity to perform a supervised research dissertation acquiring and developing original knowledge in a specific area of construction engineering management.

How you'll learn

The programme will provide learners with a stimulating learning environment.

Guided independent study

When not attending timetabled lectures, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This will involve textbooks, journal papers, electronic databases and e-learning materials. You’ll also have access to the library and Moodle. Your independent learning will also be supported by a range of fantastic, industry standard facilities.  

Academic support

Our academic support team provides help in a range of support services to students to help you during your study. Our Student Hub is the central point where student can contact to access all services that include academic support, disability support, to mention a few.

Workload

You will spend around 300 hours of timetabled learning and teaching activities during the year. These may be lectures, workshops, seminars or individual and group tutorials. Contact hours may vary depending on each module.  

The approximate percentages for this course are:

  • Year 1: Scheduled teaching - 300 hours; guided independent study - 228 hours. 

Your timetable

Your individualised timetable is normally available to students within 48 hours of enrolment. Whilst we make every effort to ensure timetables are as student-friendly as possible, scheduled teaching can take place on any day of the week between 9am and 6pm. Timetables for part-time students will depend on the modules selected.

Class sizes

To give you an indication of class sizes, this course normally attracts 30-50 students a year (this can vary by academic year). Lecture sizes are normally 40-plus students. However, in the classroom, you will do many of the experiential learning activities in small groups of up to 20 students, so you will have a chance to work closely with your peers, practice everything being learned and get feedback.

If you are an international student on a Tier 4 visa, your CAS will have a course duration of two years, subject to your meeting the UKVI's standard requirements. During the industrial placement period, you undertake an internship within a partner organisation and complete a zero-credit Industrial Placement Module.
