SPUP-PROJM v.1 Pre-Masters Project Management Specialisation
Specialisation Overview
Specialisations/Minors prepare students to develop broad knowledge about an additional discipline area or same discipline area that complements their study in an award course. Some Specialisations may assist students to progress into postgraduate studies, but have specific entry requirements.
This study package provides students with an introduction into the discipline of project management. The curriculum examines project management processes, definitions, attributes, methodologies, and the project management body of knowledge. Students will explore the characteristics and activities of the project life cycle, along with the functions of planning, organisation and control, and project closeout. Students will consider cost and value management processes within a project environment, including methods and techniques for scheduling complex projects, managing risks, and budgeting and controlling procurements. This study package prepares students work in project management related roles and/or continue their studies as they pursue graduate degrees in project management.
