About this program

The combined Masters degree in Construction Practice and Project Management enables students interested in being a construction project manager to gain specialised knowledge related to the delivery of complex buildings. Construction was the first and is still the dominant sector of the economy where project management is practised. It is also an international endeavour, where the cost and complexity of major buildings is ever increasing. Therefore, a combined understanding of the construction process together with the generic principles of successful management of scope, time, cost, risk, human resources, quality, procurement, stakeholders and environmental impact, and their balanced integration, is most valuable. Construction project managers demand salaries at the top of the professional range, and may be involved in commercial, residential, industrial and civil developments, including in the energy and resources sector. Students graduate with a Master of Construction Practice and a Master of Project Management upon completion. This degree is internationally recognised by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

Hear from our Bondies

  • After finishing my undergraduate degree I began my search for a degree that would get me building! My search ended with two main contenders: one program in Melbourne would take three years to complete, whereas Bond would only take 18 months. So, I chose Bond. Getting into a field I had no idea about was daunting, but I was in awe learning about how one lecturer had a huge part in the construction side of the Sydney Olympics, to another lecturer who literally studies how buildings fall over. 

    Wade Grierson - Construction practice alumnus

  • "Nations around the world have experienced a global pandemic and are trying to rebuild their economies with extra government stimulus. This process, which is expected to take many years, creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for talented project and program managers to help their societies by delivering innovative solutions. Pre-pandemic, project management jobs were abundant and well-paid. Post-pandemic, jobs are forecast to grow even more across all industry sectors and regions."

    Dr Craig Langston - Professor of Project Management
  • Construction Management and Quantity Surveying

    The construction management and quantity surveying discipline prides itself on the level of practical experience shared between our educators in a field where this is so important.
