Introduction to project management
The aim here is to describe as comprehensively as possible all the stakeholders of the construction projects and urban projects and the project life cycle. This description integrates the relationships between stakeholders and their evolution according to the phases of the project. This course also addresses different specific areas (urban renewal, social housing, infrastructure, ...) and proposes an international perspective. This course includes lectures, but also case studies and workshops. | 9 | 80h | ||

Legal and economic context of project management
In a legislative and regulatory context that has been profoundly modified in recent years and remains evolving, this course provides future professionals with a better understanding of the legal tools that will be theirs. It also aims to provide students with the methods and tools to address economic problems, both at the enterprise level and at the urban and construction project level. | 9 | 80h | ||

Methods and tools for project management
The practice of project management is increasingly using computer tools and new information and communication technologies. This course is an opportunity to take control of these tools, especially in the form of practical work (BIM, planning software, …). It also aims to develop the project manager's 'business' capabilities. Finally, it aims to develop the skills to communicate and manage teams. | 9 | 30h | 20h | 40h |

Urban planning projects
The aim is to help the future professional to apprehend a territory which is the object of an urban project: diagnosis, identification of the constraints and potentialities. It is also necessary to specify the place of the urban project in the project management and to describe the main aspects of the project management. This teaching unit is organized around real projects that students deal with as workshops. | 9 | 50h | 30h | 40h |
