About this program

The Master of Project Management at RMIT University is structured to help students build practical skills applicable to managing projects across industries. Over two years full-time, students complete a set of units of study covering topics such as project planning, risk management, quality control, leadership, and contract management. The course is aligned with professional practice in Australia, and students often work on case studies and real projects that reflect the local market.

Students progress through core units, choose electives to tailor studies to backgrounds or career aspirations, and usually undertake a capstone project. This final component enables them to apply techniques and concepts learnt during the course to a complex project scenario, often in consultation with industry partners. RMIT emphasises developing communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills, which are valued in the Australian project management profession.

The course suits those aiming to shift into project management roles or advance from technical or administrative positions. It is also relevant for professionals from engineering, IT, construction, business and health who want to manage projects in their sectors. In addition, international students can make the most of work-integrated learning opportunities and may apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) upon completing the degree, allowing them to gain practical experience in Australia. Standard work rights of 48 hours per fortnight apply while studying. Credit for prior studies is possible, subject to RMIT's assessment and credit transfer policies.

All admission requirements, including recognised English language qualifications, are outlined on RMIT’s official site and the CRICOS register. Applicants should confirm details there for the most accurate and current information.
