Hi all

Firstly I hope this is the correct forum to post into.

I am due to start an MSc in Construction Law & Dispute Resolution in September and really looking forward to it. I am currently a Project Manager for a construction company and am after some advice how I put this MSc to use once obtained, and gain experience in this field. I suspect that I will have to leave my current role and potentially employer to advance my career.

The course itself states that the modules are accredited by the CIArb and the Chartered ICES. I want to ensure that the course itself will give me the foundation I need to go in at a Junior level and progress sufficiently.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Note - Course is being taught through UCLAN.

Hi all

I know people like an update. I’ve got my results for the first year and I am doing really well. I am enjoying the course and now thinking about my next steps, this time next year I will be finished.

Thanks

Part time, I am in the construction industry as middle management which helps.

HI, final update, I have managed to pass and achieved a merit grade overall which I am happy with.

The course itself is accredited with both the CIArb and RICS, however I have decided that I am going to apply for Associate Membership with the CIArb and reach out to organisations offering Construction Adjudication services and see if they would entertain me offering my 'services' FOC (I am employed) on a ad-hoc basis to further my experience.

Lets see where this takes me!
