Master of Construction Management/Master of Property

The Master of Construction Management combined with the Master of Property positions students to be industry ready and have flexibility within the employment market. It gives you the opportunity to have a commercial career in an industry that accounts for $360 billion in revenue in Australia, alongside impacting urban developments at the city scale. The multidisciplinary approach gives you the ability to realise synergies between disciplines, broadening your skillset and giving you a contemporary understanding of the built environment profession.

This program aims to provide you with:

• highly developed skills to analyse and value property;
• technical and management training to work as construction/project managers within medium-large general construction contracting companies;
• advanced knowledge in the development and management of property;
• knowledge and comprehension to coordinate all aspects of the building procurement process on behalf of clients - either within a private project management company or within a client organisation;
• professional practice in a property context.

By combining the Master of Construction Management and the Master of Property as a double degree, our students complete two professionally accredited graduate programs in a reduced timeframe. This gives them a true competitive advantage and broader career options. Dual accreditation also offers a distinctive signal to employers and industry and enhances our existing graduate reputation for strong leadership and strategic thinking skills, embedded in our expertise in providing a world-class built environment education influencing Melbourne and cities globally for over 150 years.

Your studies will focus on five key knowledge areas of property: finance, economics, evaluation and investment, property management and law and planning, giving you a comprehensive oversight of the discipline and enabling a path towards generalised vocational work or specialisation. A unique aspect of the course is the 'International Property Development' subject, allowing students to experience markets and market players first-hand through their interactions and case studies.

Simultaneously, you will study several core and elective subjects as a construction management student, enabling you to focus on a chosen area of construction management specialisation. Regardless of whether you are starting your career in construction or coming from industry to further develop your expertise, you will find a specialisation that suits your career aspirations.
