Study plan

Detailed study plans are available from the CUSP http://cusp.sydney.edu.au Courses and Unit of Study Program web site.

Progression rules

The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies will monitor students for satisfactory progress towards the completion of the Bachelor of Project Management. In addition to the common triggers used to identify students not meeting academic progression requirements (as defined by the progression requirements of the Coursework Rule), students must pass any unit of study identified in the course resolutions as being critical to progression through the course.

Course opportunities

Career options are varied as project management skills are transferable across industries. As businesses increasingly focus on more efficient delivery of infrastructure, technology, products and services, the demand for skilled project managers is growing.

Combined degree graduates will be uniquely qualified and highly sought after as professional engineers with the additional ability to manage large-scale complex engineering projects. They will have a wide choice of career opportunities in areas such as property development, construction, mining, engineering, water, health, energy, IT, banking and finance or the government or not-for-profit sector.

Having a degree in project management will also offer you a clear advantage in your career development.

Graduate opportunities

Career opportunities upon completion of this combined degree are varied as project management skills are transferable across industries. Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Project Management degree will be highly sought after and could work in professional and management roles in property development, construction, mining, IT, banking and finance, state or federal government or in consultancy roles in the engineering, water, health or energy sector.
