SUMMARY:Modern Methods of Construction - Micro Credential
DESCRIPTION:Start date Jan/Feb 2026 – Application closes on January 9th  \nFee: €2\,035 – 40% = €1\,221\nCourse Details: \nAs identified by the EY ‘Detailed Description of Needs’ report (2021)\, ‘The construction industry is under pressure to increase productivity and efficiency while also meeting the growing needs of an expanding population. It has to move to a new\, higher level of performance and quality\, while also being attentive to environmental\, sustainability and circular economy imperatives’. The report showed that modern methods of construction (MMC) is one of the key areas for the construction and built environment sector. \nAs part of this module\, students will develop skills in Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) as the sector moves rapidly towards Industry 4.0. The module will cover key areas of standardisation and routes to certification\, next-generation rapid build systems (off-site panelised and modular construction)\, automation\, and autonomous construction. This module is a science-based approach\, and key tools\, methods\, and materials will be explored. \nNB: This module is part of a 1 year\, part-time Postgraduate Certificate in MMC. \nDelivery: 8 weeks – Blended Learning (in-person and online). \nAssessment: will be carried out on a continuous basis.  \nWho Should Apply? \n\nConstruction Professionals\nPlanning Consultants\nQuantity Surveyor\nCivil Engineers\nProject Managers\n\nLearner Outcomes: \n\nExplain the importance of testing\, standards and certification in the adoption of MMC and their relevance to engineers\, architects\, quantity surveyors\, contractors and decision makers\, including the Agrément assessment and Building Regulation compliance\nAssess what standards and regulations are relevant to various MMC\nRecommend routes to certification\nAssess the impact of waste and the principles of circularity in the construction sector\, including introduction to life cycle assessment (LCA)\nApply the pattern design approach\, incl. the Construction Innovation Hub Platform Rulebook\nConsider the current best practice and future trends for next generation rapid build construction (off-site panelised and modular construction)\nDescribe the concepts and methods of MMC in new builds and retrofits\nAppraise new materials\, easy to assemble sub-assemblies and efficient MMC\nReview the current best practice and future trends in automation\, including manufacturing of new products and their installation on site\, taking account of quality management\, quality assurance and Six Sigma in MMC\nIdentify risks of MMC and key considerations for various stakeholders\nDescribe challenges and barriers in adopting MMC\n\nApplicants should hold:  \n\nAn undergraduate bachelor degree 1st or 2nd class honours in any discipline (level 8)\, along with three years of relevant industrial experience; \nAn ordinary bachelors degree or 3rd class honours undergraduate degree (level 7)\, along with five years of relevant industrial experience; \nA recognised professional qualification and five years of relevant industrial experience.\n\n40% funding is available to successful candidate employed in the Irish private sector.\nRequest funding: info@industry4skillnet.com\nApply now and mention Industry 4.0 Skillnet funding: Sign In | Sínigh isteach\nAlternatively you can send an email specifying you will be funded by Industry 4.0 Skillnet  microcreds@universityofgalway.ie\nWhen completing your application please make sure to select the following categories:\nAcademic level: Micro-credentials and CPD\nCollege/Interest type: Micro-credentials/CPD Postgrad Level 9\nAcademic programme: Science and Engineering Micro-credentials – CPC15. \nYou will need to manually enter the Module Name as Modern Methods of Construction – CE5106 on the second page of your application. \nFurther information can be found on University of Galway website: Modern Methods of Construction – University of Galway\nCheck out our upcoming courses and book your place now\n\n
