Bachelor of Project Management (Honours)

The Bachelor of Project Management (Honours) at RMIT University takes you through a complete exploration of planning, executing, and managing projects across different industries. Over four years in Melbourne, you'll tackle both the theoretical aspects and the real-world challenges faced by project managers. Early years focus on key project management methodologies, risk assessment, scheduling, budgeting, and leadership skills. In the final year, you’ll work on an honours thesis or capstone project, allowing you to research a topic of your interest or design a substantial project solution.

Australian bachelor honours degrees like this sit at Level 8 of the AQF and are generally structured as three years of undergraduate coursework plus a dedicated research or advanced coursework year. Study is organised around units (or courses), each with designated credit points counting toward your total. Honours students at RMIT deepen their expertise with advanced project management subjects and an independent research task supervised by academic staff.

During your time at RMIT, you’ll likely get the opportunity to complete work-integrated learning activities, connecting with local industries and employers. This gives you hands-on experience, relevant in sectors like construction, IT, engineering, and business. The course suits organised problem-solvers who enjoy leading teams and managing resources on varied projects, whether in building, tech, or consulting. Note that English-language requirements apply for international students; details are on the official website.

Graduating from this honours degree makes you competitive for professional jobs and opens a pathway to postgraduate research if you wish. Studying in Melbourne, you'll be surrounded by a strong business and construction sector, providing valuable local context and networking opportunities.
