Architectural Design Management Auckland University of Technology

Overview

This Architectural Design Management course from Auckland University of Technology prepares you for this sought-after career at the early stages of construction projects.

Suitable for architecture, construction and engineering graduates, this programme has a strong focus on innovation and sustainability to empower you to contribute to a sustainable future in the construction industry. Because we want you to thrive in your career after AUT, we encourage students to have 1 to 2 years of work experience before beginning their studies. This practical experience, combined with the knowledge from your studies at AUT, will help you stand out in New Zealand’s construction industry.

Career opportunities:

Design management is crucial in the early stages of construction projects (during pre-contract and early contract activities), helping define the project, develop and review the design, and communicate the design detail to all stakeholders. Once these early stages have been addressed, there is a handover to the construction project delivery team, which handles the project’s construction on site.

As a graduate of the Master of Architectural Design Management you’ll be well-prepared for roles like:

• Design manager or coordinator
• Architectural project manager
• Project manager or coordinator
