Overview

Advancing technology is creating exciting opportunities for the construction industry. Digital modelling, automation and innovative engineering techniques are changing what’s possible.

Worldwide, demand is soaring for graduates with high-level skills and understanding in these areas, together with a firm grasp of contemporary building, project management and sustainability practices. Our new Bachelor of Technology (Honours) (Construction) will prepare you to take a leading role.

What will you do?

Taught over four years full-time the degree leverages the University’s strong industry links and world-class research. It features an emphasis on real-world experience, with an internship providing 456 hours of work-based training.

In addition to gaining a broad understanding of the foundations of the construction industry and associated project management—you’ll develop skills in evaluating, applying and using:

  • new and emerging technology, including digital building-information modelling tools and automation technologies (Industry 4.0)
  • civil engineering principles and technology, in real-world construction contexts
  • construction project and people management, including legal requirements
  • systems thinking, building science, economics and sustainability principles
  • highly effective interpersonal communication and critical, independent thinking.

The degree is taught across two schools—Civil Engineering and Architecture—and wherever possible you’ll share classes with students of both. This will prepare you well for a future career in which you’ll frequently work alongside professionals in these areas.

In fourth year, you’ll also undertake major construction design and research projects. In these, and your internship, you’ll be mentored by our world-class, research-active staff and/or industry experts.

Where could it take you?

You’ll be ideally placed to work on high-technology infrastructure and construction projects anywhere in the world. From managing the construction of transformational infrastructure projects, including bridges, tunnels and highways, to constructing the next generation of zero-energy buildings using the latest digital and Industry 4.0 technologies. You may also choose to continue your study with our Master of Construction Management.
