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 program 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 about the general management and project management principles and techniques, but also to apply them to the management of large-scale and complex construction projects.

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, quantity surveying, property development, real estate, or equivalent, with grades of credit average or above. In addition to meeting the academic requirement, applicants are required to have a minimum of 12 months management experience in the construction industry gained post completion of Bachelor’s degree.
