Due to multimillion growth in the construction industry, employers are looking for professionals with civil engineering experience who can also meet the demands of multidisciplinary construction environments.
La Trobe University’s Master of Construction and Engineering Management gives students the blend of knowledge and skills to meet this challenge. They will learn how to manage complex building, civil or infrastructure projects while implementing sustainable industry practices. Students will build skills in project financing and cost control, project negotiation and consultative engagement. They will also have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and build industry contracts with a six-month (800-hour) industry-based learning placement, provided they meet the required academic and work-ready criteria.
Alternatively, students can join a research team on an advanced engineering project. They can get real-world experience with La Trobe University’s industry partners, including Coffey, John Holland and Fulton Hogan.
Students will learn:
- Australian Engineering Environment and Sustainability Practices – Gain an understanding of Australian engineering industry sustainability practices and build attributes required to make a successful transition from university to the world of work.
- Construction management – Build skills in skills in project planning, professional development and financing to manage people and deliver results.
