About this program

The Master of Project Management at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane develops advanced knowledge in managing large and complex projects across a range of sectors. Students examine project planning, procurement, risk management, governance, and leadership. Courses also address budgeting, contracts, and stakeholder engagement, reflecting how project management theory is put into practice in Australia. Through case studies and industry-focused assessments, students learn to apply methods and tools relevant to real projects.

This master's degree runs over 1.5 years of full-time study, organised into trimesters with a series of required and elective units. Students accumulate credit points by completing these units, ensuring a focused progression through core project management competencies. There is usually a capstone unit, such as a project or research-focused assessment, which brings together project delivery skills in a simulated or genuine industry context.

QUT's strong connections with the local Brisbane business community and infrastructure projects mean students often have access to guest lectures and partnerships with leading employers. Where possible, work-integrated learning units emphasise professional experience, giving graduates a practical edge. Students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight in Australia during their studies, and upon completion, graduates can explore options like the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream if eligible.

This course suits those with an undergraduate degree or relevant professional experience in areas such as engineering, business, IT, health, or construction. It is suitable for early-career professionals and those seeking career progression into roles where managing projects is key. Applicants should confirm entry requirements, credit structure, and course details on the official QUT or CRICOS websites.
