Bachelor of Project Engineering and Management (Civil)

Course Overview


This combined degree provides students with the opportunity to develop both the technical expertise required in the engineering stream of their choice and the project management expertise to manage large projects. Many of the Bachelor of Engineering specialisations can be combined with the Bachelor of Project Management. Core project management subjects include project finance, project management, complex project coordination, analytics, statistics, risk management, organisational behaviour and psychology.

Developed in response to increasing industry demand, the Bachelor of Project Management is the world's first specialised undergraduate project management degree. Based on a complex systems approach, it uses multidisciplinary theories and methods to investigate a particular phenomenon from a holistic viewpoint. Combined degree graduates will be uniquely qualified and highly sought after as professional engineers with the additional ability to manage large-scale complex engineering projects.
