Course introduction

Introduction


The construction industry is the industry of the future. Every construction project combines a variety of complex challenges. Construction managers coordinate the delivery of these projects, which requires a combination of technical understanding of construction processes and resource management, as well as managing their legal and financial aspects. The Bachelor of Construction Management (Building) will provide you with the skills and knowledge to carry out opportunities both in Singapore and across the world.

The programme incorporates substantial Building Information Modelling (BIM) teaching and projects which offer a niche specialty beyond the construction management discipline. This would give the graduates a solid foundation to pursue wide career choice as BIM Managers, Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors and Facility Managers.
The degree programme is conceptualised to be a problem-based learning pedagogy to train students to solve real world challenges, develop holistic understanding of construction project environment and portable life-long learning skills. To offer an accelerated pathway, an advanced standing articulation would be eligible for students with relevant diploma qualifications.
