Infrastructure & Project Management

Plan, design, and manage the construction of buildings and infrastructure—combining building science, project management, and sustainable design.

Overview

Infrastructure and Project Management is the discipline of planning, coordinating, and delivering construction projects—from residential buildings and commercial developments to transportation networks and public infrastructure. It sits at the intersection of engineering, business, and design, requiring professionals who understand both the technical aspects of construction and the management skills needed to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to specification.

The curriculum covers building science and technology, construction management, project planning and scheduling, facilities management, contract law and procurement, building information modelling (BIM), sustainable building design, and urban systems engineering. Students learn to manage complex projects involving multiple stakeholders, navigate regulatory requirements, and apply digital tools to optimise construction processes. Site visits, industry projects, and internships provide practical experience.

Singapore's constant urban development—from new MRT lines and HDB estates to the redevelopment of major districts like Tengah and Jurong Lake District—creates sustained demand for project management professionals. Graduates work for construction firms, property developers, government agencies (BCA, HDB, URA, LTA), engineering consultancies, and facilities management companies. The field offers clear career progression from project coordinator to project director, with opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
