Salford University's school of the built environment will next month launch an MSc programme that it claims is the first in the world to combine off-site construction and manufacturing disciplines.

The course, which can be completed without any UK attendance, is aimed at students intending to manage off-site construction projects. Modules cover construction processes, ICT, production technology, automation, management and design.

A launch event will take place at CUBE on Portland Street, Manchester, on Wednesday 26 November, from 6pm to 8.30pm.
