Content |
The Master of Construction Law will take three trimesters. The programme will seek accreditation with the Arbitrators' and Mediators' Institute of New Zealand Inc, the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) in the UK. This proposal introduces nine new courses evenly balanced over the year. Online pre-recorded lectures, block mode teaching and after-work tutorials will be considered while structuring the curriculum content to attract qualified professionals into this programme. The first trimester will provide foundational courses depending on whether prospective students have a background in law or the built environment. The combined total of the required taught courses is 90 points, allowing students to complement their studies with two special topics or electives (30 points) and a research project (60 points) or replace those with a research thesis (90 points). Special topics will be available on-demand to complement the training and skill set of students. Electives can be selected from the postgraduate programmes currently offered by the Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation and the Faculty of Law.
