Courses

Construction Management courses are taught in 'block mode' so participants can study (part-time) while remaining in employment.

A course taught in block mode typically involves:

• attending two 2-3 day blocks
• reading background material and completing assignments
• project work and assignments that can be finished after the study blocks
• an examination at the end of the course (exam locations outside Ōtautahi Christchurch are possible).

Support is provided for off-campus students via our library distance service and online teaching content system. Many working professionals opt for part-time study towards a degree. All degrees can be completed in both full-time and in part-time study.

Postgraduate study can bring many career benefits eg, specialist skills and enhanced knowledge, entry into specific occupations, higher starting salary/progression rates, research capability/achievement, and evidence of high academic attainment/self-discipline.
