Master of Technology (Civil)/ Master of Construction Management

C200  075221M



Duration

 Campus and Intake Show intake calendar

Fee*
2 Year/s Hawthorn (Semester 1, Semester 2) A$24,250 (annual for 2012) 
*The indicative course fees shown in Course Search apply to international students studying on-campus in Australia for the relevant year only. They are based on a standard study load per year. However, please note that fees are assessed according to a student's study load in each semester, and variation to study load will result in an adjustment to tuition fees. All fees are subject to annual review and may be adjusted.

This new combined postgraduate coursework program is being introduced for civil engineering students who wish to enhance their knowledge and undertake continuing professional development in both the fields of civil engineering and construction management.
 
The program will have an applied industry focus and present units of study relevant to professional practice and contemporary research in these fields. The core (discipline specific) units within the combined program have a technical focus, which can be complemented with a range of technical or management focused elective units of study, to suit the needs of the individual student. Importantly, many of the technical units of study have a sustainability theme which is the great challenge for the delivery of infrastructure in the 21st century.
 
(International students are required to study full-time and on campus.)

At program completion, graduates should be able to: 
  • Apply fundamental knowledge of engineering, mathematics and science 
  • Use the techniques, skills and modern tools in civil engineering to practice effectively in industry 
  • Identify, formulate, solve and evaluate engineering problems 
  • Design and conduct experiments as well as to analyse and interpret data 
  • Design and develop engineering solutions to meet desired needs within realistic economic, environmental, social, ethical, health and safety, construction, and sustainability constraints 
  • Undertake research independently and develop clear report writing skills 
  • Function and communicate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams 
  • Identify and practice professional and ethical responsibility 
  • Recognise the need for and to engage in lifelong learning

The Master of Technology (Civil) / Master of Construction Management consists of a total of 16 units (200 credit points). Units normally carry 12.5 credit points. In each year, eight units normally constitute a full-time load of 100 credit points and four units normally constitute a part-time load of 50 credit points*.
 
For the Master of Technology (Civil) / Master of Construction Management program students must complete:
  • Civil engineering discipline units: six units (75 credit points)
  • Construction management discipline units: seven units (87.5 credit points)
  • HES7605 Research Design and Methodology or HIT9010 Research Methods (12.5 credit points)
  • HES7609 Research Project (25 credit points) or two additional coursework units (25 credit points) selected from the civil engineering program units and/or construction management program units
Where a unit of study is offered either on-campus or online*, students may only gain credit for that unit once.

Students who do not complete the double masters program may be eligible for other nested degrees (i.e. Graduate Certificate of Engineering (Civil), Graduate Certificate of Construction Management and Graduate Diploma of Construction Management) if they have satisfied the completion requirements of any particular degree.

Any future change in the original programs (postgraduate civil engineering and construction management programs) will be applicable to this proposed double masters combined program.

All units are existing and are currently offered in the postgraduate civil engineering and construction management programs.
 
*International students are required to study full-time and on campus.
