• Objectives
  The objectives of the course are to provide learning opportunities for advanced practice in asset management and facilities management for people with previous relevant qualifications and/or industry experience and with an interest in up-skilling and formalising their knowledge. There is a particular focus on the sustainable performance of assets and facilities and the contributions that can be made to avert the inevitable consequences of global climate change. The learning strategy uses a mix of lectures, workshops and tutorials from leading instructors and the completion of assessment tasks between or after on-campus sessions.
• Practical experience
  Work Experience & Internships Some students without practical workplace experience, or with workplace experience in a field different from their studies, choose to undertake work experience and internships in addition to their degree.
