Facilities Management

Facilities Management from Edinburgh Napier University will equip you with knowledge of the principles and methods of successful facilities management, from technological processes to commercial considerations.

Quick Facts:

• This will enable you to operate professionally at a high level within the industry.
• Distance learning study replaces campus attendance with specially-developed online learning materials. You can study at your own pace, in your own time from anywhere in the world.
• Typical entry points to this course are in January and September. Please enquire for more information.
• Facilities Management is about integrating multi-disciplinary activities within the built environment and managing their impact upon people and the workplace. It is one of the fastest growing professions, supporting people in their work and other activities and enabling organisations to deliver vital non-core services effectively and responsively. It ensures physical assets are cost-effective, allows for future change in space use, enhances the organisation’s culture and image and helps provide competitive advantage to the core business.
• From the management of technology, maintenance and engineering services within buildings to property asset management, project and change management, space management, corporate social responsibility, risk and compliance, FM covers the range of support services required in modern organisations.
• All facilities require ongoing strategic management and there are opportunities to work across the world. Due to a shortage of qualified professionals with the required expertise, demand is high for suitably qualified FM practitioners.
• The course is designed to prepare you to make a valuable contribution to the facilities management of any property type through the teaching of strategic and operational principles which can be customised to an organisation’s particular requirements.
• The course is entirely distance learning and there is no attendance requirement other than to sit exams. Students start the course in September and the MSc will take around two years to complete.
