A master’s in Construction Management will help you develop both your academic and technical knowledge, while giving you better insight into the industry. On our MSc Construction Project Management programme, you will also get a chance to hone the necessary soft skills to successfully lead and integrate multidisciplinary teams of professionals.

There has never been a better time to invest in your future, and the University of Bolton is a fantastic place for construction management retraining. Here are just a few reasons why retraining could be a great career move for you. 

Now is the perfect time to retrain

Right now, the UK’s construction pipeline is changing, with more opportunities rising across a number of hotspots outside of the capital. These include Scotland, the North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber, The Midlands, and Wales. Candidates with a master’s in Construction Management will be in demand, with jobs available nationwide.

Access a broad range of job opportunities

As a construction project manager, you can work in a number of settings, including for consultancy practices, as a self-employed contractor, or for other specialist companies within the supply chain. Some of our graduates also go onto pursuing careers in civil engineering, teaching and education, architectural technology, planning and development surveying, offshore and petrochemicals, town planning, and more.
