The healthcare landscape is changing and challenging the way we currently engage with healthcare services.  The population is living longer with complex and chronic conditions, and many people have increasing expectations of healthcare and technology.

Development managers must know how to assess risks, and take them where appropriate, and may be involved in commercial, residential, industrial and civil developments, often involving large-scale projects. Students graduate with a Master of Valuation and Property Development and a Master of Project Management upon completion. Graduates of this degree are internationally recognised by the Project Management Institute
