Overview

Project management is a cross-disciplinary field that is vital for innovative activity in organisations and industries. Traditionally project management has played an important role in defence, aerospace, construction and engineering. Increasingly, project management is being applied in areas such as IT, banking and finance, disaster relief recovery, climate change, telecommunications and mining.

The Master of Project Management (Complex Systems) is an AQF Level 9 Masters qualification with a standard full-time duration of 2 years.
