WHY STUDY PROJECT MANAGEMENT Our Project Management degree courses have been specifically developed to address a growing demand for project management skills in the region. This increase in demand is a result of the major investments taking place over the coming decade in the nuclear, defence and energy sectors as well as shortages in qualified Project Managers in other areas such as construction, IT, health services, media and engineering.

These undergraduate programmes develop generic project management skills that are appropriate for projects in all business sectors. This is a fast growing profession with employment opportunities locally, nationally and internationally.
