Master in Construction Management

The Master in Construction Management is a first-level programme of the University of Naples Federico II, organised by the Department of Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering. It focuses on techniques for managing construction processes and on economic and organisational aspects, with the aim of teaching how to supervise works, coordinate teams and plan interventions using up-to-date methodologies and professional software. The management of a construction project requires organising time, costs, resources and people, and anticipating and dealing with problems that may emerge during the works. The master teaches the techniques to do so, with attention to economic and organisational aspects, and with the use of professional software now widespread in project planning and control.

The master lasts one year and takes place in person in Naples. A compulsory curricular internship of at least five months is provided with partner companies or organisations in the sector, which makes up an important part of the programme. The page does not state the credits and does not specify the language, which is presumed to be Italian. The courses are not described in detail.
