The Graduate Diploma of Construction Management forms the second stage in a four-stage nested program consisting of:

• Graduate Certificate in Construction Management (GC-CMGT)
• Graduate Diploma of Construction Management (GD-CMGT)
• Master of Construction Management (MA-CMGT)
• Master of Construction and Infrastructure Management (MA-CIMGT)

The construction industry has always required efficient technical and financial project administrators, and this need is even greater in today's financial climate. Projects must run efficiently on all fronts, and managers must be able to plan, execute and supervise jobs with professional skill in areas where each new technological advance creates a need for new techniques, methods and equipment.

The main aim of this program is to prepare graduates for future roles in managing people, equipment, materials, technological processes and funds in the construction, building and maintenance of buildings and assets in the civil infrastructure. This aim is facilitated by the study of advanced management and engineering techniques in the fields of construction, building and maintenance.

This program will provide graduates with an opportunity to gain advanced theoretical and practical knowledge of construction and infrastructure management principles, procurement and cost analysis. The programs will also assist in up-skilling local and international graduates in the state of the art Australian professional engineering.

Graduates can follow careers as construction managers, project engineers/managers, civil engineers and asset management engineers in a range of industries including consulting engineering, construction, research organisations, private sector, local and other government authorities.
