MSc - Construction Management

Loughborough has the second oldest Construction Management MSc master's programme and some of the best academics in the construction industry. This was a significant factor in making the decision to come to Loughborough.

Having been away from academia for a few years practicing, I thought things were going to be tough, but the support and skills of the teaching staff made it a very comfortable transition. The library and sporting facilities are of great benefit and, most importantly, the community feeling at Loughborough made studying very efficient.

I chose to study Construction Management MSc at Loughborough University because it is the longest-established construction master's programme in the UK. I was also really impressed with the quality of research facilities, experienced academic staff and well-structured modules. The University visited my home country, India, on numerous occasions, which helped me clarify any apprehensions. The support I was given during my application process reinforced me that I had made the right choice.

Throughout my professional experience in India, I saw the necessity for a digital and sustainable construction revolution. Utilising digital technology allows us to bring back sustainability in the built environment. The rich heritage of the Construction Management MSc at Loughborough concentrates on sustainability and digitization as well as management and technical knowledge. I aim to become a leader in the industry one day and I want to encourage other women to do the same.

Loughborough University is recognised by the British Council, which helped me secure the British Council India-UK Scholarship, which covered my tuition costs. The support extended by the University representatives helped me with the application process, which was massively helpful in securing the scholarship.

The pick-up service from Heathrow Airport provided by the University was really helpful. It allowed me to meet and socialise with several other international students. The international welcome party helped me get familiar with the new environment and made the transition to a new country much easier. The various sports activities and society fairs helped me browse the opportunities available. For example, I was the SIO for Action for the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering.

We also had a visit to the Hollowford Centre, which was very memorable. We learnt a lot about putting theory into practice and made beautiful bonds between peers and colleagues.

Apart from having an excellent library, Loughborough's postgraduates are blessed with 'The Graduate Hub'. This postgraduate-only cosy hub was our go-to place for doing coursework and revising for exams.
