Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours) in Project Management

at EduCo - RMIT University - Melbourne City Campus Australia

This Qualification has been superseded by the Department of Education, Skills and Employment and will change in 2023.

You can still apply for this program and you will be supported to transfer into the new qualification once it becomes available. This may result in changes to the program structure, content and fees.

In this advanced diploma course, you’ll gain the practical and technical skills to work with civil engineers on the design and construction of infrastructure projects.

The Advanced Diploma of Engineering (Civil Engineering Design) also provides a pathway to an engineering degree.

Civil and structural engineering involves the design and construction of roads, airports, railways, buildings, bridges, dams and drainage systems.

You’ll develop skills:

• Using computer-aided drafting (CAD) software to produce detailed drawings, plans and designs for construction work
• Doing cost estimates and preparing material specifications
• Liaising with construction workers and project managers
• Inspecting completed works to ensure they meet specifications and regulations
• Conducting laboratory and/or field testing of materials, soil and water quality.

Focus on the practical and technical application of design skills, and create innovative, sustainable designs for domestic and commercial-scale building projects. 

Learn about building design from the ground up as you explore topics covering

• Innovative and sustainable design
• Innovative digital applications
• Problem-solving
• Structural and construction technology
• Project documentation
• Architectural project administration
• Construction processes
• Environmental sustainability and design
• Materials technology
• Building services
• Communicating and working with stakeholders
• Associated planning and building regulation codes and standards.

You’ll build the right skills to communicate and work effectively with a variety of stakeholders, including regulatory authorities and a wide range of consultants associated with the design, construction and building services.

Throughout your studies and beyond, you’ll have opportunities to contribute to the ongoing development of the building industry and the built environment.

Day-to-day, you can expect to be involved in working to client briefs, preparing architectural drawings and building specifications and visiting building sites for analysis and investigation. You’ll also analyse bushfire attack levels, environmental factors, liaise with engineers, quantity surveyors, building surveyors and planning professionals and working to local council codes, by-laws and national regulations.

The environment faces threats and challenges that include climate change, habitat loss, overpopulation, emerging contaminant and pollution events, and food and water security.

The breadth of these environmental challenges requires a combination of knowledge and skills in chemistry, biology, statistics, research, and earth sciences for an interdisciplinary approach to surmounting these difficulties.

In RMIT's Bachelor of Environmental Science, you will learn about the biogeochemical processes that occur in both natural and degraded environments, and specialise with areas of study like environmental biology, environmental chemistry, geosciences or geospacial sciences.

Over the course of your environmental studies, you will undertake both practical and industry-relevant activities, where you will:

• Gain considerable hands-on experience with equipment, both in the laboratory and in the field
• Undertake frequent field trips during the second and third year
• Work on collaborative projects with industry, gaining hands-on experience.

These activities involve working in small groups to foster teamwork and a collaborative approach to research and projects.

As a visual merchandiser or display designer in retail, events, exhibition or styling, you will maintain an organisation's image, service and merchandise to its customers and use your design talents to create stimulating and engaging spatial displays that promote products and services.

In your role you will:

• Create displays, stands and panels for exhibitions, conferences and other events
• Create window and in-store displays for retail shops and department stores
• Source elements such as lighting, props and accessories
• Work to a project brief and present concept designs to clients.

The major emphasis of this qualification is the design and production of commercial displays and the development of a folio of work that prepares you for a highly successful career as a creative individual.

You will design, develop and create displays using advanced construction and presentation techniques that use colour, lighting, space, photography, digital technologies, sensory inputs and interactive installations.

You'll learn in commercial retail, exhibition and event environments in world-class facilities. For example, in purpose-built studios, major street frontage windows and new media and digital display technologies.

This diploma has a hands-on, design-based curriculum that is monitored and delivered by experienced and practising professionals.

Practical workshops and outstanding industry connections help make this course the largest, most exciting and effective visual merchandising qualification of its kind in Australia.

Construction management is not just about building sites: it’s about the bigger picture. Develop the skills to manage people and resources to ensure the safe delivery of buildings.

In this degree, you’ll gain extensive knowledge of developments in urban cities, the increasing need for residential and commercial properties, and the renovation of elements of the built environment.
Developed in response to industry demand, the subjects in this degree will take you through the skills you need in planning, coordination and control of a project, from inception through to to completion.

You will develop the knowledge and technical skills to deliver construction projects safely, and build confidence in managing the process from start to finish.

Studying business in today's ever-changing, globally-connected and technologically-charged world is an exciting prospect.

Are you a disruptor, a potential entrepreneur who sees opportunity at every turn? Perhaps you are a global citizen, connecting with like minds across the world. Or an innovator; ready to transform business with the latest approaches in cyber, blockchain or digital technologies. Then again, maybe you are more focused on creating social impact, or ensuring sustainability goals are set and met in industry. With so many outcomes from your business studies, the only thing you need to find is your path.

Economics
Understand how businesses, people, and governments interact locally and globally. Learn the necessary skills to tackle society's biggest challenges such as climate change, equality, and poverty. Develop applied analytical expertise important to a variety of career paths.

Mechanical engineering involves the planning, design and development of machinery, solving problems and improving the machines used in everyday life.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours) will provide you with the skills to become a professional and highly employable mechanical engineer, within a national and international context.

In the first two years of this internationally accredited degree, you’ll learn the fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics, engineering design, and engineering professional practice.

As you progress, you'll customise your degree by focusing your studies in the general field of mechanical engineering or other areas such as manufacturing, automotive, business, mathematics or computing.

You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge – a humanitarian-focused subject offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

Your final-year capstone project will enable you to integrate, critically reflect on and consolidate what you have learnt in your degree.
