Master of Construction Management (S791)
Deakin University-VICTORIA
The Master of Construction Management is made up of 12 credit points of study of which the final 4 credit points comprise both case study industry placement and a research focus. The course provides students with the understanding, knowledge and skills in a variety of roles in quantity surveying and commercial construction management and is suitable for personnel involved in the procurement of built facilities as consultants or contractors, as well as people in government departments and commercial organisations who are responsible for the procurement of such facilities. The courses have been designed to suit the needs of two types of graduates: Graduates from a built environment and civil engineering background who are seeking a conversion and up-skilling program. Graduates who have completed an undergraduate degree from an unrelated discipline, wanting to enter the construction management profession through an accredited quantity surveying pathway. The course is designed to provide the specialist skills related to the theoretical, policy, evaluative and research frameworks that underpin the construction professions. The course is distinguished by its flexible delivery mode available to you from any location. It brings together a range of built environment disciplines to look at issues of true international significance in terms of procurement and contractual options, project financing and sustainability economics. The course has been designed so that students have the opportunity to exit with a Graduate Certificate of Construction Management (four credit points) or Graduate Diploma of Construction Management (eight credit points). Professional recognition The University will be seeking professional accreditation from the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Career opportunities Graduates will find career opportunities in the fields of quantity surveying and construction cost management with a wide spectrum of employers which include construction companies, quantity surveying, project management and construction consultants. In addition, they will also be eligible for relevant positions in client organisations in the property development arms of government departments and commercial companies such as banks, retailers and manufacturers. Graduates who wish to do so will be able to pursue their careers overseas in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America.

Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Science (D331)
Deakin University-VICTORIA
Combining another degree with a Bachelor of Laws is an excellent way to enhance understanding of the context in which the law operates. In the Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws combined course, students can combine studies in law with studies in science, such as biology, biological chemistry, biotechnology, chemistry, earth science, environmental science, information technology, nanotechnology, mathematical modelling, multimedia technology, psychology or zoology. The Faculty of Science and Technology and the Faculty of Business and Law are responsible for this combined course, which leads to the awards of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws. Professional recognition Deakin’s Bachelor of Laws is designed to satisfy the university component of the requirements to become a barrister and solicitor in Victoria set by the Council of Legal Education (COLE). In addition to completing an approved LLB degree, a person seeking admission is required to work for one year as a legal trainee, or to undertake a practical legal training course. Career opportunities A Law degree, especially when combined with another degree such as Science, is a qualification that offers unequalled career opportunities. As an alternative to practising as a barrister or solicitor, you may choose to pursue a career in business and management roles in a wide range of organisations, government services, industrial relations, research, public administration, diplomatic service, the media, legal aid, law reform or teaching either in schools or universities. There is also an increasing need for lawyers who understand science and scientists who understand the law to work in specialist roles and to deal with complex, often intertwined scientific and legal issues. For more information on career outcomes for this combined course see the entries for Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws.
