The Centre of Construction Law was founded in 1987 by Professor John Uff QC CBE, who was its first Director (1987-1999) and founding Nash Professor of Engineering Law (1993-2002). The current Director is Professor Renato Nazzini.
The main activities are:
- The MSc programme, taught since 1988 at the Strand Campus
- Conferences and public lectures on aspects of Construction Law
- Research and publications on aspects of Construction Law.
MSc Programme
The key feature of the Centre is its interdisciplinarity: our staff and students are drawn from all sides of the construction industry and its professions, including lawyers (barristers and solicitors), engineers, surveyors and other related professionals, as well as those with dual qualifications in a range of fields.
The Centre has an international approach, encouraging dialogue between students and staff from all regions of the world on construction issues. We run intensive weekend modules to support participation by out of town students and those who are unable to study during the week.
