Master of Project Management
Project management is recognised as a highly valued discipline in its own right. Organisations have come to rely on specialist project managers, with excellent practical skills and theoretical knowledge, to plan and deliver projects on time, within budget and to specifications.
This degree uses A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK® Guide) as a framework. It is the international industry-standard approach to project management that can be applied across different industries, businesses and government institutions.
You will graduate with the skills and knowledge to apply project management methodology to specific professional field(s) of expertise; work in interdisciplinary project teams; and assume the role of project manager from inception to commissioning.
You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to network, exchange ideas and share experiences with practising project managers as well as other professionals. As part of this degree you will do a major integrated research project which could focus on a real issue in your workplace.
This postgraduate degree is offered as part of a suite of four programs (graduate certificate, graduate diploma, a 1 ½ year and 2 year master). Each qualification extends to the next, so you can easily transition to a master level qualification. At master level, you may choose to complete an additional six months of study to expand your academic knowledge and explore an area of interest within the project management field.
If you decide to exit this degree having completed the first eight courses, you will receive the Graduate Diploma in Project Management.
If you have completed a degree or post graduate study in project management or a related area, you may be eligible for Advanced Standing. Depending on your qualification, you could complete your master in either one or 1.5 years of full-time (or equivalent part-time) study.
Over the course of this degree you will learn the fundamentals of project management, including:
establishing a project and preparing project plans to meet objectives and requirements
using appropriate management tools for monitoring and control of projects
understanding and using effective project management techniques throughout the life cycle of a project
Your studies will also include courses such as:
Managing Complexity in Projects
Economic, Social and Environmental Analysis
Portfolio and Program Management
You will also complete a substantial Master Thesis.
