Program Overview

Massey University construction staff have a wide range of industry and research experience. You’ll work with people who know how the industry works and what potential employers are looking for. The Postgraduate Diploma in Construction will help you become a construction professional, with relevant knowledge and skills the industry needs.

There is a shortage of qualified graduates with skills in this area. There is over $100 billion in construction work (covering both building and infrastructure work) to be done in New Zealand alone over the next 30 years. Demand in many countries beyond New Zealand is even bigger.

There is massive work to be done and there is high demand at all levels of work in the construction industry - ranging from construction tradespeople to construction professionals.

If you complete the qualification at a satisfactory level you may be able to proceed to the Master of Construction. If so, credits you have gained through this qualification may be credited to the master's qualification.
