Master of Construction Management at CQUniversity is ideal for you if you are looking to build your construction management credentials for a career as a construction manager and you hold a three-year bachelor's degree in areas related to construction such as:

With a focus on construction management and project management, you will gain skills and knowledge to embrace project management principles. 

They apply across different phases of the construction project cycle to achieve successful project outcomes in terms of time, cost, quality, safety and sustainability. 

As part of this course, you will complete a research project unit where you will have the opportunity to engage in applied research for a project relevant to the construction industry. 

This unit will enable you to interact early with the industry and apply your knowledge to a relevant work-based problem.
