Master Programme
Project Management
The Master of Project Management is taught by Adelaide University, formed in 2026 from the University of Adelaide and UniSA. First year builds project management foundations: theory and technical principles, risk management, leadership, ethics and sustainability. Second year can be tailored with courses on portfolio and program management, enterprise transformation and innovation, project governance and complex decision-making, or other advanced electives. Students finish with an industry project on a topic of their choice plus an internship, career development or research skills course. The degree is accredited by PMI's Global Accreditation Center and endorsed by the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM). Graduates work as project and program managers, risk managers and project consultants.
