"This has been an excellent course which has improved my knowledge, skills and personal development. It has also been a benefit to my employer.
"Through my MSc project, I have developed an innovative approach that aims to improve and modernise the sharing of data and communication between the various divisions of the construction process - people working in the office, people working on the construction site, logistics and finance.
"The company has moved it into a testing phase on a real construction site so that my idea can be developed further. Hopefully this will lead to it being rolled out across Bouygues Construction over the coming years."
Romain Poirier, Bouygues Construction (MSc Construction Management graduate, 2016)
"I really enjoyed my time at Abertay and the opportunity to study international construction management practice.
"The MSc in Construction Management is a great opportunity to study in English, and get the experience of working abroad. This is a great benefit when you work in international companies like Vinci Construction and will hopefully help me in my future career."
Clement Attard, Vinci Construction France (MSc Construction Management graduate, 2017)
"It was very interesting to add an international approach to construction management. Courses were an opening to global economy and industry and allowed me to integrate a German company, based in France and work every day with foreign colleagues in English.
"Everyone has his work methods, depending of his country and organisation and it's a pleasure to share and discover every day. Undertaking my MSc Thesis was a great opportunity, due to reading of number of scientific and technical books and papers.
"This part is really helpful because I analyse many Contracts and technical specifications of furnishers now. It was a long way and a difficult work, perfect to improve organisation and efficiency skills."
Quentin Gadais, ABO Wind (MSc Construction Management graduate, 2012)
