Benefits to students

• The CEM course has supported accelerated career progression for many former students. Students will gain the new skills and insights needed to tackle some of the most pressing construction challenges. They will be equipped to become industry leaders, making a tangible contribution to the positive transformation of the sector.
• The part-time format of the course permits students to continue their professional careers while studying. 
• CEM cohorts average 25-35 students, with each cohort forming a closely bonded group of innovative, supportive and like-minded thinkers with significant scope for peer-to-peer learning. 
• The course offers substantial opportunities to engage with other cohorts to further build networks, knowledge and expertise.   
• Students become full members of Queens’ College, where they benefit from hospitality during residential weeks, a lifetime College membership and CEM alumni network.

Benefits to organisations

For organisations that sponsor students, the programme offers two core benefits. First, sponsorship provides an opportunity to support, retain and demonstrate commitment to the organisation’s highest flyers and to deliver your future leaders.  Secondly, by working with the students during and after the programme, their skills, expertise, and studies can be focused on delivering wider benefits for the organisation.  Research is usually aligned to meet the combined interests of the student and their sponsoring organisation.

An increasing number of companies are adopting this programme as a key training opportunity to develop their current and future leaders pool.
