Helping for some quick insight
The company i work for has funding available from construction skills, up to the value of £875 a year for course fee's, and also £275 for completion of a qualification.
I already have HND Business Property Management and RICS Bsc (hons) Business Property management
I started off wanting to do Civil Engineering at HNC Level, mainly because it was cheap and i thought having not come from an engineering degree i would be able to deal with it, the first problem with this was that my course fee's would not be what i thought they were because having already previously done a qualification of equal or greater level you have to pay the unsubsidized fee's of £2500 a year as opposed to £900 a year, the course is 18 months, and the total fee's are £5000 (i feel this is expensive, as well as been at Sheffield city college...)
So i almost decided to enroll on that but then i decided to have a walk over to Sheffield Hallam and asked what the options there were, it turns out i could do a MSC in construction management for less a year, its also accredited, and if i don't get on with it i could leave after a year and just get the PGcert from it.
The fees for this work out at £1680 a year, on top of that i would get 10% discount as my Bsc was there, then the £875 a year making it pretty cheap, and if i did not continue after a year i would get the £275 and it would only cost me in the region of £300.
My concerns really are
Its not civil engineering, it seems like another vague qualification like my Degree, but even if they did offer a civil engineering post grad course, i don't fancy that been my first foray into it, not from a maths point of view but the physics side.
Doing a level 7 qualification while working full time, how has everyone coped with this
Considering just leaving it for a year to be honest, but everyone is saying that MSc fees are likely to come in line with BSc fees next year, and there might not be the funding available next year either.
