Bachelor (Honours)
Construction management is not just about building sites: it's about the bigger picture. Develop the skills to manage people and resources to ensure the safe delivery of buildings.
In this degree, you'll gain extensive knowledge of developments in urban cities, the increasing need for residential and commercial properties, and the renovation of elements of the built environment.
Developed in response to industry demand, the courses in this degree will take you through the skills you need in planning, coordination and control of a project, from inception through to to completion.
With the increasing need for new residential and commercial developments, and construction jobs on the rise, construction managers are highly in demand.
You will organise and manage a vast number of people in the building procurement process, and you'll require good people management skills and an ability to work in teams.
A construction management degree qualifies you to work as a:
site manager, responsible for managing the construction site
construction manager, responsible for site management or running entire construction projects, ranging from housing through to multi storey buildings
quantity surveyor, assisting with cost planning, analysis, management and control of construction projects
projects manager, moving beyond the construction aspects of a project and managing the entire process from various stages of design through to completion and handover.
Your skills will also equip you to work in industries beyond construction, including engineering, architecture, economics and law.
Credit, recognition of prior learning, professional experience and accreditation from a professional body can reduce the duration of your study by acknowledging your earlier, relevant experience. Find out if you might be eligible.
