CEM cohorts average 25-35 students, with each cohort forming a closely bonded group of innovative, supportive and like-minded thinkers, with significant scope for peer-to-peer learning.
The course offers substantial opportunities to engage with other cohorts to further build networks, knowledge and expertise.
Students will gain the new skills and insights needed to tackle some of the most pressing challenges for construction. They will be equipped to become industry leaders allowing them to make a tangible contribution to the positive transformation of the sector. The CEM course has supported accelerated career development for many former students.
For organisations that sponsor students, the programme offers two core benefits. First, sponsorship provides an opportunity to support, retain and demonstrate commitment to the organisation’s highest flyers and to deliver your future leaders. Secondly, by working with the students during and after the programme, their skills, expertise and studies can be focussed towards delivering wider benefit for the organisation. Research is usually aligned to meet the combined interests of the student and their sponsoring organisation.
This degree is accredited by the JBM (the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institute of Highway Engineers) as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a partial CEng accredited undergraduate first degree.
