I have been considering doing a MSc Construction Law degree for a while, this year is the year, but which degree?

There are only two that I am aware of that offer this opportunity via distance learning. The first being from the University of Salford (Manchester) offering MSc in Construction Law and Practice. The second being offered from The Robert Gordon University (Aberdeen) offering MSc in Construction Law and Arbitration.

But which would employers look at being the best, as I look to take my career into Claims Planning.

Thanks for any advice.

    Dear Nicholas,

    One of the best answers would be to contact the "Society of Construction Low" http://scl.org.uk/

    and they will provide you with the best school in field.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Samer,

    Thanks for the link and that’s now added another one to the mix in the shape of the University of Central Lancashire offering the MSc Construction Law and Dispute Resolution.

    Best Regards,

    The Robert Gordon course is well respected; I have a couple of employees who have this qualification.

    One option to consider is to join a Claims Consultancy before you undertake the course, and they may well sponsor you through it (and then tie you into employment for a couple of years)

    Regards

    Do yourself a favour and visit http://www.ices.org.uk

    Law courses imbue you with data and facts, claims work is the application of them and can only be successfully learnt on the job.

    All the best
