Cost management of construction processes is vital throughout the life cycle of a project. This requires a good understanding of the commercial aspects of development and construction, and the environment in which these operate.

On this course you will address projects from the perspectives of both demand and supply, and focus on the procurement and financial control of construction projects. The programme is ideally suited to students involved in the procurement of built assets, for example on behalf of project sponsors in the public sector. In addition to RICS accreditation and a Masters qualification, you will also gain many lifelong managerial and professional career skills through the programme.
