Course Overview
Awarded by Kingston University London
The course provides a strategic overview of construction management issues as well as a deep and broad knowledge of advanced structural engineering. The structural engineering part includes the structural design of standard and innovative structures/substructures using modern materials, state-of-the-art techniques, and the latest codes of practice. The management part covers financial, legal, and contractual problems associated with the construction process, the application of management techniques, and contract administration in the supervision of construction projects.
What you'll learn in this course:
- Advanced methods in the design of structures in concrete and steel
- Advanced methods in the design of structures subjected to seismic actions
- Advanced methods in the design of substructures and foundations
- Procurement strategies, estimating & tendering procedures and controlling cost of projects
- Project management tools and techniques including risk, health & safety and quality management
- Sustainable construction and the environmental, social and economic credentials of concrete as applied in practice
The research dissertation enables students to conduct a sustained, in-depth, original research related to complex theoretical arguments within a technical field of the construction industry.
