Course Overview

About This Course

The Master of Engineering Project Management (course code 532PM) was designed to meet the needs of graduates in disciplines requiring an advanced understanding of the theoretical and practical principles of the project management function, including project procurement, project team leadership skills, staff employment conditions, and appropriate mechanisms and styles for project management. The 100-point, one-year program developed professional skills across the full scope of project management from conception to completion, including project initiation and control of time, cost and quality, and was aligned with Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) accreditation requirements. This course is discontinued (the 2016 Handbook noted 'there will be no further entry into this course') and is not listed on the live study.unimelb.edu.au course finder or the current Handbook, having been effectively superseded by the Master of Engineering Management. This content is sourced from the archived 2016 University Handbook, the most recent edition in which the course appeared.
