About the course

Construction Managers supervise various design and construction projects from beginning to end. This degree will prepare you to pursue a career in this competitive and highly sought-after field.

　　Professionally accredited by Engineers Australia, The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil and Construction Management) is strongly hands-on. You will apply engineering theory to real-world challenges, and in your final year, complete a major honours research project, as well as an industry-related design project.

　　Throughout your degree you’ll learn in our specialist industry-standard facilities. We have the largest strong floor in the southern hemisphere and a 1200m long hydraulic testing facility. You’ll also learn to use high-tech testing and computer modelling equipment.

　　Through the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program you’ll gain at least 450 hours of skills and competencies to ensure you graduate career ready. You will have access to a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, events and networking opportunities. Hear more about the benefits of the UniSA Industry experience from graduates William, Franke and Teresa here.

　　Enjoy a common first-year across most Engineering degrees enabling you to switch between specialisations and receive credit for completed courses. This means if you change your mind about your Engineering specialisation after first-year, you can change programs and still complete your degree in 4 years full-time.

　　In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering. You’ll then move into your civil engineering major. From third year onwards you will commence construction management courses, such as Construction Scheduling and Advanced Construction Management.

　　This is a four-year, professional degree with honours. The honours component includes a minimum of one year of advanced studies in research and professional practice. You will receive First Class, Second Class or Third Class Honours, depending on your performance.

　　You will graduate with industry experience and connections, and a higher-level qualification than a bachelor degree. Your honours year is designed to prepare you for future leadership roles in civil engineering and project management. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
