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).

  • 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.

    Bond’s small class sizes were a huge drawcard for me. Lectures at Bond are very interactive on both ends, which made me more confident in my knowledge and ensured any questions I had were answered. It was also great to learn from guest lecturers with real industry experience. The study structure at Bond is very practical and focuses on real-world experience to prepare us for our future careers in construction practice. Site visits, workshops, and practical lessons are all crucial parts of the program.
