Summary
A career-focused qualification that brings together coursework and a project designed to prepare students for careers in international project management and leadership of major projects.
New Zealand is recognised as a global leader in innovative project management approaches, delivering world-class projects across all engineering disciplines. Develop your skills and credentials as a professional project manager, able to lead and direct multi-disciplinary engineering projects.
This programme provides students with the in-depth knowledge and skills needed to succeed in project management in a variety of industries. Focusing on two key project management practices, Waterfall and Agile, this programme enables students to work towards industry-recognised professional certification.
Students will gain sound fundamentals in project management concepts and application, whilst completing a spectrum of elective courses that broaden acquisition of knowledge and skills within the engineering project management specialisation.
A project towards the end of your programme enables you to apply your theoretical skills to real-world industry projects, and consolidates your learning.
Study this programme online: The Master of Engineering Project Management is also available through Auckland Online. This will allow you to complete the programme through a set of 100% online courses.
This programme is offered in two forms, to suit the existing qualifications and experience of candidates.
120 points for candidates with a four-year bachelors (honours) degree.
