Do you have a degree in a civil engineering or built environment discipline? Deakin’s Master of Construction Management (Professional) gives you the opportunity to further your interests and take the next step in your career. Develop the specialised skills in the theoretical, evaluative and research frameworks that underpin the construction profession. Challenge yourself to stretch your thinking in a supportive environment and enhance your motivation to be an independent life-long earner. This course is also suited to those with undergraduate qualifications in non-related disciplines who have demonstrable professional experience in construction, through public or private enterprises. This degree provides you with an opportunity to formalise your entry into the construction management profession.

As a graduate of this course, you will find career opportunities in the fields of quantity surveying, project management and construction management with a wide range of employers, including construction companies and consultancies. You will also be qualified for relevant positions in client organisations, in the property development arms of government departments, and in commercial companies such as banks, retailers and manufacturers. Construction management professionals are generally highly mobile and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) accreditation provides an immediate, readily recognised international qualification. Graduates who wish to do so will be able to pursue their careers in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. This course is relevant to experienced mid-career construction professionals who are seeking to extend themselves into future leadership positions within the industry.
