Prepare for a leadership role in the contemporary construction industry with a degree that’s aimed at high-achieving professionals.
Explore critical construction management concepts, from construction technology to cost planning, project planning, legislation and ethics, and get hands on with best practice case studies and industry standard technologies, including estimating, programming and building information modelling (BIM) tools.
What’s more, our course content is built on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) methodology, adapted for use in a construction context, which means that everything you study can be applied to construction challenges and projects.
Meet our course expert – Arezoo Shirazi
The program provides a pathway for students to move into the construction management roles by gaining valuable experience through group-work activities on real world construction projects and learning the industry-adopted construction project management techniques.
Dr Arezoo Shirazi is a lecturer and multidisciplinary researcher with an interest in the future of the built environment. As the director of the UTS Construction Management project, she’s focused on preparing students from diverse professional backgrounds to progress through or into construction careers.
Arezoo is a passionate teacher and mentor who emphasises hands-on learning as a way to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and industry practice. She is an advocate for women’s participation in construction and their contribution to achieving environmental and social justice in communities, codes, and standards.
As a researcher, Arezoo works on multidisciplinary built environment projects with national and international partners. Her research interests include smart and sustainable buildings, green construction and building life cycle and energy analysis. Previous work includes modelling life cycle assessment (LCA) of residential building retrofit measures in Atlanta and context-aware mobile augmented reality visualisation for construction engineering education.
I look back now and I couldn’t be more proud of the Reports and Management Plans for the different areas of construction I’ve produced for such high calibre construction projects . I’m amazed at what I’ve come out the degree with.
