The Master of Project Management (MPM) in the Built Environment, and the research based Master of Applied Science (MASc) in the Built Environment, are based in the Department of Architectural Science, in conjunction with the Department of Civil Engineering.  The MPM is course based (full-time or part-time) with a major research project (MRP) option,  and the MASc is a full-time, research focused degree, with a thesis option. Total intake for both programs combined is 18-20 FTEs per year..

This graduate program responds to the well-articulated industry need for highly skilled personnel in advanced construction and project management techniques. It is uniquely positioned to develop technical and research  expertise in project management within the building sector to more efficiently leverage the potential of emerging technologies and approaches and apply them to sustainable project delivery.

There is considerable interest amongst the current students to develop new skills in management, particularly related to better environmental performance. Furthermore, many employers in the industry recognize a need for greater management expertise and look for opportunities for mid-career education for their staff, and for research partnerships with academia.
