About Degree
Construct your ideal career
The increase of infrastructure and building projects is a significant driver of the economy—both in Australia and throughout the world.
There is growing demand to ensure these projects are delivered on time, within budget, and at a high level of quality, to satisfy stakeholders.
What will you do?
This degree is hosted by the School of Architecture and Built Environment but takes a holistic approach to construction management. You will:
- build advanced technology and management skills related to the field
- apply life cycle and system thinking approaches to the management of construction and civil projects
- develop skills in relevant software including: Revit, MS Project, Gabi, and CostX
- draw on business and project management expertise from our experts in the field
- complete a supervised research project.
Where could it take you?
You might oversee the development of a World Centre for Positive Wellbeing in APSB. You could prepare for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Perhaps you’ll work on high-speed railways or help with the construction of an Australian hyperloop.
Our Master of Construction Management is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) .
