Bachelor of Housing

The UWS Bachelor of Housing degree is ideal for anyone interested in a practical, professional qualification within the building industry. This degree gives you specialised skills for working in the housing industry with a strong emphasis on the design, construction, maintenance and economics of dwellings for human habitation.

A highly practical course, the Bachelor of Housing degree gives you the opportunity to use the University's state-of-the-art, purpose-built laboratory complex to conduct experiments across the range of building sciences including acoustics, heat flow through a building, corrosion of materials, concrete testing, and much more.

A Career in Housing

The current shortage of building industry professionals means that graduates of the Housing program can choose from a wide variety of careers including:

• property developer
• housing project manager
• site supervisor
• building surveyor
• estimator
• facilities manager
• building consultant
• design and construction manager

Housing lecturers and tutors will actively encourage you to independently gain work experience during your studies in order to enhance practical skills and future employment prospects.
