Project management is about delivering successful results for business, government and the community. It requires passion, resolve and vision. This one-year degree will set you up to manage projects at whole new scales and levels of complexity.
What will you do?
Our Graduate Diploma in Project Management places a strong emphasis on holistic and systems-based project management. You will:
- learn scalable project management concepts, methodologies and tools

Where could it take you?
You could organise major sporting events or coordinate living arts festivals. You might manage megaprojects in healthcare, science, manufacturing, catering, entertainment or the defence sector. Perhaps you’ll head a marketing team in Silicon Valley or oversee the development of a multi-storey tower in Dubai. The graduate diploma can also lead into our Master of Project Management.

Degree Structure
Students will commence the program by taking four core courses that provide basic skills in planning linear projects, addressing risks in linear projects, leading projects, and an introduction to complex systems generally.
Students will then progress to courses in Enterprise Transformations, and Portfolios and Programs Management which all extend knowledge gained in the earlier courses.
At this point in the program, students will choose to undertake the course:
- Complex Project Management 1 (for students operating in complex environments such as enterprise focused, software, defence, entrepreneurial and most government-initiated social programs), or
- Project Management Controls (for students that operate in linear projects, such as construction, ship building etc).
Areas of Specialisation
As project management is relevant across a broad range of different industries and occupations, students can use their own chosen field or interest and apply this to their assignments and class discussion.
Students can also select electives in their area of interest.
