Postgraduate Diploma in Construction - Construction Project Management
Massey University’s Postgraduate Diploma in Construction (Construction Project Management) is a pathway to in-depth research at a master's level.
The programme gives you the opportunity to show your analytical thinking and your high-level research capability.
Key project management skills
Your learning focuses on front-end general project management issues such as development, finance, planning and scheduling, contract and stakeholder management. The programme provides both disciplinary and integrative education in the areas of constructibility, costs, scheduling and ethics.
Research-led learning from industry experts
You’ll learn from senior faculty members and industry experts. Our lecturers and supervisors come from a range of relevant sectors. International participants feature strongly in all intakes, and the wide mix of expertise allows for you to have meaningful exchanges and interaction at the postgraduate level.
Flexibility
The curriculum is flexible to meet your unique study preferences with a full-time option offered over one year. The part-time option allows you to work while you study via block study mode.
A global perspective
The built environment affects, and is affected by, many external influences. During this programme you’ll gain a global perspective of the social, political and ethical influences on construction. You’ll also learn how to overlay these in your decision-making process.
Your learning takes place in an environment of diversity, integrity and transparency. The environment replicates and reflects the standards of the construction management profession itself. You’ll learn how to lead relevant local, national, and global outreach and engagement to optimise benefits to the industry and community.
