The Bachelor of Construction (Construction Management) prepares you with the knowledge and skills to organise and manage activities on a construction site, including gaining an in-depth knowledge and understanding of management structures, supply chain, people and production management. Become familiar with advanced construction management, contract law, tendering and design management, amongst other things.

Our industry-focused approach to learning interior design means that in addition to developing your necessary knowledge and skills in commercial interior design, we also integrate you into the industry.

You'll also further your ability to critically reflect on your own work and that of others.

Do you want a role in the re-imagining of our urban environment and re-thinking of our cities?
