Abstract

With the rapid development of the construction industry, there is a great requirement to cultivate a large number of management talents with higher competency (ability, quality and knowledge). Taking postgraduates in construction management as an example, this research reviewed the relevant literature on the three dimensions of ability, quality and knowledge which postgraduates in civil engineering and construction-related disciplines should have. The results show that in order to promote their competency, the most important abilities which postgraduates in construction management should cultivate are communication skill, practical working capability and leadership; the most important qualities which should be trained are professional quality, ideological and moral quality, physical and mental quality, and personality characteristics; and the most important knowledge which should be equipped is interdisciplinary knowledge, disciplinary professional knowledge and engineering practice knowledge. The results of this study can be used as the basis for relevant universities to formulate postgraduate programme, to further promote the competency of construction management postgraduates in China.
