Structural Design & Construction Management with Sustainability MSc

This programme builds on the research excellence in sustainable concrete construction at Kingston University and is fully compatible with the existing Government and Foresight Strategy on Sustainable Construction. It is run in association with The Concrete Centre UK.
Input from experts at leading civil engineering, construction and related companies complement the academic teaching. This enables you to develop a wider perspective and understanding of the worldwide issues facing the construction industry.
Each module combines a stimulating mix of lectures, practical laboratory work, group work, case studies and presentations.
You will have the opportunity to undertake research and industry-relevant dissertation projects.
The course will also develop your professional, analytical and management skills, as well as improving your technical skills and knowledge. For example, you will gain communication, teamwork, IT and problem-solving skills.
You can choose to study the course full-time or part-time to fit in with work commitments. September and January start dates give you extra flexibility plus the programme is modular, with majority of the modules delivered over one week.
We regularly review all our postgraduate courses to make sure that they are up-to-date, reflect industry needs and are comparable to other university courses. This programme was developed in consultation with the leading industrial specialists and will be delivered in association with the Concrete Centre-UK.
