Project Management is of growing importance to organisations because it deals effectively with the management of change. Organisations are beginning to realise that the traditional form of management cannot deal with the dynamics and resulting chaos of the modern economic, social and business environment.

Project management is a method for organisations to achieve profitability targets, but just as significantly; it is a ‘culture’ that will assist most people to improve their personal performance.

Students who complete this course should be able to:

• Explain the characteristics of organisational approaches to project management
• Understand the core competencies required to make an effective project manager including communication, leadership, motivation, negotiation and team building skills
• Understand the concepts of stakeholders, success criteria and critical success factors in the context of projects
• Evaluate the importance of effective management of the project life cycle
• Be able to apply methods, tools and techniques for planning, monitoring and controlling projects and for managing risk
• Create a project plan
• Understand the various roles and the importance of the project office.

Career Opportunities

Project management provides a diverse range of interesting and rewarding career options. It encompasses a highly versatile and valued skill set that can be applied across all major economic sectors from the arts, financial services, engineering, ICT, life sciences to construction.

Student Profile

The Diploma attracts a diverse range of students from varied backgrounds. The typical student will have a limited amount of project experience and is looking to develop their formal skill set and career prospects as project managers.
