ABSTRACT

Construction management education has expanded rapidly in recent years. However, there does not appear to be a coherent approach to the delivery of the course. Taught postgraduate degrees in construction management have become popular in UK with not less than 25 Universities currently offering programmes. An evaluation of courses in 15 UK universities shows that the delivery modes for programmes vary widely. It can be argued that the perspective of the practitioners must play a part in the shaping of construction management programmes.

This paper presents the results of the UK construction management practitioners’ perception on the delivery of construction management programme. This is a follow up to the paper on a survey of the content of postgraduate taught courses in construction management in UK [1].
