    well wicked.

    They do it in DIT. next intake of students on to the course will prob be sept 2010 as its bi annual. its a part time masters, so if your thinking of it your prob best off having a job in dublin that would be some way related to the course so that you get the masters done but also have 2 and a half years work experience done. only prob is constrction jobs here as you know are quite hard to come by these days. Its also fairly expensive, approx 10000 to do. not too sure what the situation would be with funding.

    Heriot Watt in Edinburgh is a good option at the moment. 1 year masters in QS only costing 4000 euro. you would have to fund this yourself though as no grants here in Ireland will cover it and last year nobody on the QS course over there received a grant from the scotish grant authority. The school has quite a good reputation on the QS side too.

    2 places to do it in london. Kinston university and London south Bank. both costing bout 5000-7000 GBP. Alot of work in the applications as well. I think you have to write about 4000 word personal statement for both.

    Usually people would go on and do a masters in a management related area, Waterford IT do a Masters in Construction and Project Management I think.

    If you are interested in the claims side then you might do a masters in contract law or something.

    You could always do a research masters of you have a spare two years
