Take your place in a rapidly growing field with a globally recognised project management degree.
Meet global demand for qualified project managers with a postgraduate degree from UTS.
Become a Project Manager
The project management industry is facing a global shortfall of 25 million professionals by 2030*. Prepare to capitalise on international demand with UTS’s suite of postgraduate project management degrees. Whether you’re an established project manager or you’re new to the field, our courses will help you advance to the next stage of your career.
Enrol in a graduate certificate or master’s qualification and immerse yourself in a core curriculum that spans the fundamentals of the project management field (project communication, risk, cost management and more). As a master’s student, you can also use your electives to deepen your project management capabilities or complete a specialist sub-major in a related field — think business, construction, property development or data science.
When it comes to getting in, there are multiple pathways to entry: for the master’s degree, you’ll need an undergraduate qualification or a combination of related experience + completion of the graduate certificate. The graduate certificate is open to anyone with an interest in project management with 5 years relevant work experience.**
Accredited by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), with Commonwealth Supported Places available, the Master of Project Management is a globally recognised degree.
