Master of Construction Management

To attain the Master of Construction Management, students are required to complete 192 credit points, consisting of 96 credit points of Core studies, 48 credit points of Professional Experience Placement, and 48 credit points of Capstone (Research Project) studies.

During the industry-targeted Professional Experience Placement unit, students complete a minimum of 600 hours of work placements. Throughout the placement, students work under the supervision of a qualified construction manager or equivalent professional, encountering practical challenges and workplace dynamics to gain a deeper understanding of the professional skills needed in construction management.

The Master of Construction Management is a full-fee course (not government subsidised), with indicative fees for a full-time student of AU$33,500 per year. In addition to tuition fees, students will also need to pay a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).

Applicants need to have completed an Australian Bachelor degree (or equivalent) in a similar discipline such as civil engineering, architecture, building surveying, construction management or quantity surveying; OR a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma (or equivalent) in a similar discipline. Applicants without an undergraduate qualification may be admitted to the Graduate Certificate based on approved work experience, and upon completion may be eligible for admission to the Master with credit granted for completed units.

In the second year of study, students conduct research in a specialised area, undertaking a comprehensive study that addresses contemporary issues in construction management. The final thesis enriches the field with new insights and evidence-based conclusions, demonstrating students' abilities for rigorous data analysis.
