The local construction industry will soon have a major boost after the introduction of the country’s first full Architectural Degree and Masters qualification.

Fiji National University Associate Professor in Civil Engineering, Efray’im says FNU will next year introduce the Architectural Degree and Masters qualification.

He adds that a Bachelor of Construction Management and Bachelor of Quantity Surveying is expected to be  introduced at the University in 2020.

Efray’im says that they will also have a diploma to cover the first two years of the degree and in the third year and students can do Architectural Design.

The review of the apprenticeship program he adds is also timely as industry input will be important moving forward.

Efray’im also stressed that the reality is that not all students will get a white collar office job adding that there are more than enough students every year to allow vocational training institutions like the FNU to train for both local industry needs and also the global market.
