Study a Graduate Diploma in Facilities Management – GradDipFM
The Graduate Diploma in Facilities Management (FM) is aimed at professionals working in facilities management who hold a non-FM-related tertiary qualification. For example: engineering, commerce or science. It provides an educational route for FM professionals to progress into more senior leadership roles in the industry.
The structure and content of the qualification is designed to build on your existing knowledge of the operational maintenance and management of built facilities. It ranges across the many and varied core skills required by facilities managers.
What will you learn?
You will gain the skills and knowledge to organise, control and coordinate the strategic and operational management of built facilities, environment and support services. The qualification covers four main knowledge areas: legal, management, technical and professional. It reflects the many and varied core competencies FM professionals need.
Research-led learning from industry experts
You’ll learn from professional experts in the fields of construction, facilities management, architecture, business, engineering, IT and other industries.
Our lecturers are active in research, ensuring you will be at the cutting edge of this fast growing industry.
Flexible study
The programme is flexible so you can study on campus or via distance learning, part-time or full-time.
A GradDipFM is a good fit if you:
- are working in facilities management but don’t have a facilities management qualification
- want to progress into a senior leadership role
- are looking to learn more about managing risk and operational sustainability.
