Project Management

Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Project Management are required to gain credit points for the core units of study set out below. Any additional credit necessary to satisfy the degree requirement of not less than 144 credit points shall be gained by completing additional elective units of study, as recommended by the School (as set out below).
Students in BPM must complete the requirements of one of the three streams; Civil Engineering Science; Built Environment; Software. Requirements for each stream are shown below.

Combined Engineering and Project Management

Students in the combined Engineering/Project management degree are exempt from the Project Management stream requirements. They must however complete an Engineering stream as defined in the relevant Engineering stream tables.

4. Candidates enrolled in a combined Engineering/Project Management program are exempt from the stream core units listed in the tables above.
5. Most Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Computer Science units of study offered by the Faculty of Science can be replaced by equivalent advanced level units of study subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from the relevant department before enrolling.

Project Management Recommended Electives

In addition to the core units in the above table students will need to complete electives to gain a total of 144 credit points as required for the degree. The following list are recommend units.
