The construction industry has always required efficient technical and financial project administrators, and this need is even greater in today's financial climate. Projects must run efficiently on all fronts, and managers must be able to plan, execute and supervise jobs with professional skill in areas where each new technological advance creates a need for new techniques, methods and equipment.

The main aim of this program is to prepare graduates for future roles in managing people, equipment, materials, technological processes and funds in the construction, building and maintenance of buildings and assets in the civil infrastructure. This aim is facilitated by the study of advanced management and engineering techniques in the fields of construction, building and maintenance.

This program is available both on campus and by distance education.

Entry Requirements

Applicants should have completed either:

An engineering bachelor degree or equivalent qualification, or
A bachelor degree degree in building or architecture

Candidates who do not fit the categories above may be admitted upon successful completion of the graduate diploma level. This also allows applicants with overseas qualifications, for which there is no precise Australian equivalent, to be admitted to the program.
