Project Management degrees

With a project management degree from UniSQ, you can apply your business skills across a number of industries, including business, human resources, crisis management, engineering, property development, and government or private sectors.  

Career opportunities include project manager, project business analyst, project coordinator, product manager, entrepreneur, strategy consultant, corporate development manager, process improvement specialist, and transformation lead. With UniSQ’s Master of Organisational Project Management, you'll be equipped to lead and manage complex projects as a project manager, innovation manager, consultant, product manager, entrepreneur, or sector specialist. 

Your specific career path will depend on your specialisation and the industries you choose to work in. 

The duration of a project management degree at UniSQ depends on which qualification you choose.  

The Graduate Certificate of Project Management takes approximately half a year to complete, whereas the Master of Organisational Project Management takes two years of full-time study. 

UniSQ offers a unique stackable structure where you can complete three graduate certificates (Enhancing Business Performance, Leading Business Innovation, and Delivering Business Strategy) in any order to build towards the master's degree.  

If you study part-time, the duration will be longer depending on your individual study load and commitments. 

A project manager is responsible for guiding a project from start to finish. This includes planning the work, coordinating people and resources, and making sure the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the agreed requirements. 

While AI-based technology is likely to continue being adopted in the field of project management for repetitive administrative tasks, project managers will still need to play a key role in overall strategy, leadership, and stakeholder management. In its current state, automation can assist with routine tasks, allowing project managers to focus on big picture problems, rather than replacing them. 

Project managers are needed across a wide range of industries, including construction, education, engineering, IT, and in government sectors. Adapting to vastly different fields is often a highly valued skill in a project manager, and the ability to coordinate teams and manage project timelines are applicable in almost any industry. 

UniSQ is also rated #1 in Queensland for business and management graduates in full-time employment, and 5/5 stars for postgraduate starting salary (Good Universities Guide, 2025). You'll learn from supportive and experienced lecturers who will help you further your leadership skillset through project management courses.  

Gain a flexible, career-oriented qualification that supports your professional growth. Our Graduate Certificate in Project Management degrees can be stacked together to form the Master of Organisational Project Management. 

UniSQ is currently seeking endorsement by the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) for several of our project management degrees.
