Construction projects are becoming increasingly more complex and the need for graduates who are equipped to manage projects, from inception and design through to construction and occupation, has never been greater.Ê
Studying Construction Project Management at Heriot-Watt gives you the vital skills and versatility required by an increasingly dynamic industry. Our course aims to provide students with the knowledge, leadership and management skills necessary for the effective delivery of construction projects from inception to occupation.
The aim of the CEMENT (Culture of External MENToring) programme is to link third year undergraduate students with professionals in practice (many of whom are alumni). This allows students to discuss the relevance of course content, approaches to study and career aspirations with a professional who can draw upon their own experiences.
CEMENT has so far proved highly successful, with students gaining access to work placements, site visits and graduate employment opportunities through the scheme. Such interaction between students and industry is imperative in moving the profession forward and supporting the next generation of built environment professionals.
