Management of Construction Projects embraces the principles of project management and applies them across different phases of the construction project development cycle to achieve successful project outcomes in terms of time, cost, quality, safety, and sustainability. This three-tiered program (Graduate Certificate Master and Master in Professional Practice) has been designed to provide excellent opportunities to students for advanced study in construction project management and economics in either full time or part time modes. The program aims at improving proficiency of practitioners in the construction industry to meet current and future challenges. The program allows students to learn not only the general management and project management principles and techniques, but also to apply these principles and techniques to the management of large-scale and complex construction projects specifically.

The programs are appropriate for people seeking careers in construction management, project management, design management, value management and international project management. It also provides valuable education to those seeking a broader base to careers in architecture, engineering, property development, urban planning and facilities management.

Admission is available to students with an appropriate degree or equivalent from an approved university in relevant fields such as building, construction management, construction economics, civil engineering, mining engineering, architecture, urban planning, quantity surveying, property development, real estate, or equivalent, together with evidence of a capacity to achieve average credit or better grades consistently in their first degree. Professional experience is desirable and considered as an advantage in admission selection.

Please contact the Faculty of the Built Environment for information regarding the Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes.

To qualify for the Master of Construction Project Management program students will be required to complete a program of study totaling 48 UOC (as adjusted by advanced standing provisions). Students must complete six core courses and two elective courses. In conventional mode the degree requires two full-time sessions of study.

Note: Not all elective courses are available in any one year.
Students may choose courses up to 12UOC from other postgraduate programs in FBE subject to Program Director's approval.

At least 50% of program requirements must be completed at UNSW for the award of a UNSW postgraduate coursework degree or diploma in the Faculty of the Built Environment. Advanced Standing may be granted for completed or partially completed postgraduate awards from UNSW or from another institution. When considering the granting of advanced standing on the basis of previous postgraduate study at another institution, the program authority will take into account the quality of the institution and the quality, level and content of postgraduate courses previously undertaken.
A postgraduate coursework student enrolled in an articulated program may apply to progress from the Graduate Certificate to Masters level with full credit for courses completed in earlier programs in the sequence, provided that the earlier awards are not conferred. Applications for progression through a particular articulated program will be refused if six years have elapsed since completion for the earlier award.
