Construction Management & Economics

Modern construction is a complex, highly organised commercial business
dealing with large capital investments, sophisticated construction
techniques, highly skilled labour and real-time project information systems.

Every construction project is different, with new challenges in planning,
design, construction, commissioning and evolving project teams. This brings alternate ideas and unique challenges to resolve. Rapid changes in technology continue to test the ingenuity and enterprise of estimators, project managers, contract administrators, schedulers and other experts in the field.

Urban and Regional Planning

Our landscape is a mosaic of cities, towns, suburbs, neighbourhoods and
rural areas. The practice of urban and regional planning is essentially about
designing and managing the shared spaces in which people live.

Planners have the social responsibility of setting the policy framework within which land use is managed, and development takes place. This important role aims to make our cities, towns and regions visually appealing, ecologically sustainable, socially inclusive, efficient and economically productive. A particular emphasis is placed upon ensuring that areas cater for different groups and individuals in an equitable, ethical and inclusive manner and that our cities, towns and regions provide a high quality of life and a range of opportunities for all.

At UniSA, we encourage you to challenge and question the way in which
our cities and regions are currently designed and managed with a view to
recognising what aspects should be maintained and what should be improved. These attributes make our graduates highly sought after by employers.
