The Construction major focuses on the management of people, processes and materials in the construction industry.
The Construction major Handbook entry stipulates the complete requirements for the Construction major.
Always use the University Handbook as your primary course planning tool.
IMPORTANT
Each major has different rules for which breadth subjects may be taken. If you complete non allowed breadth, you may be required to complete extra subjects in order to meet the requirements of your degree. Please look at the “Non-allowed Breadth Subjects within the Bachelor of Design - relating to specific majors” page on the Handbook. A list of non allowed breadth subjects for this major is available underneath the course plans below.

Double majors, minors and specialisations
The Bachelor of Design offers unique flexibility with the option of completing majors, minors, double majors and specialisations.
-
Construction Double Majors
Construction double majors can be completed with Architecture, Civil Systems, Computing, Digital Technologies, Graphic Design, Landscape Architecture, Performance Design, Property, Spatial Systems and Urban Planning.
-
Minors
Minors are a shortened sequence of subjects, taken from the existing majors in the degree.
-
Specialisations
Specialisations are a short sequence of subjects which do not form a part of an existing major that focus particular themes relevant across multiple disciplines.
