PhD Construction Science and Management
Researchers in the Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment contribute to an interdisciplinary community working to advance knowledge and to address the emerging challenges facing the built environment industry. This programme is designed to support the career development of future construction science and management leaders.
MPhil/PhD Construction Science and Management is supported by the School's research themes, which include construction science, technology, materials, and management. Within this very broad area we examine issues such as climate change, innovations in construction science, contemporary and traditional building materials and techniques, fabrication efficiency, and the management of the construction process.

Job Opportunity Potential
The global construction market is forecast to grow by more than 70% by 2050 and the industry needs to be prepared for this challenge. On a global level we are facing unprecedented challenges and changes. Changes in climate, technology, urbanisation, population dynamics, and governance require innovative leadership from built environment professionals in order to adapt appropriately.
The UK is renowned for its expertise in architecture and innovations in building technology and engineering, and leads the world in sustainable construction. On a global scale, during the next 20 years, urban growth will require over a billion more people to be accommodated in cities. We therefore recognise the need to develop new strategies for the mass production of a cost effective, flexible, adaptable, and sustainable built environment.
Environmental, social, and economic considerations drive what we build and how we build. There is significant pressure to improve the energy and carbon performance of existing buildings and to provide skills and knowledge in this area to construction professionals.
This programme is designed to support the career development of future construction science and management leaders and there are career prospects and opportunities in the UK and internationally in this rapidly growing field.
