Course Details

Future-proof your career with Bond’s Master of Project Management, designed to provide you with comprehensive business-ready knowledge and skills required to launch a career, specialise, or excel in the field of project management. 

This program will enhance your knowledge across an array of areas including sustainable practices, business strategy, change management and measurable performance. Graduates will be equipped with the critical professional skills employers seek in communication, leadership, team management, negotiation, and risk management and can apply these skills via predicative, adaptive and hybrid ways of working. 
Project management is a truly international career and enables working with people from different disciplines and cultures either in the one location or as virtual teams from different locations. Regardless of project type, the same processes are adopted to ensure that projects are delivered on schedule, within budget, as specified and with no surprises. Value delivery and benefits realisation are important aspects of contemporary professional practice.

Where will your degree take you?

The creation and implementation of new ideas can be defined as ‘projects’ and need to be managed to ensure project stakeholders receive maximum benefit. New ideas may take the form of products, services, systems, or other deliverables and may be standalone projects, programs (aligned sets of projects) or portfolios (collections of projects and/or programs). Most importantly, projects can apply to any industry sector or field of endeavour, including but not limited to building and engineering infrastructure, software development, innovative business models, government-led social change, mining, space exploration, new technological inventions, and natural disaster recovery efforts.    Project managers can find work as team leaders within client organisations in the public or private sector, within external consultancies, or alternatively they can run their own business. Their job may entail responsibility for specific projects, programs, or portfolios, being an expert witness in contract disputes, mentoring and training of others, or solving unique problems that arise in the course of client-led business activities and can apply their skills on local, national, or global projects, as part of co-located or virtual project teams.

The Project Management Institute, just one of many industry bodies that govern our discipline, has certified over 750,000 professional project managers worldwide across a range of roles.
