Master of Project and Program Management in Contract Management

Program Overview

There is an ever increasing demand on understanding, negotiating and administrating contracts to deliver the best outcomes for all stakeholders involved in the process. Contract management is a key service required by multiple organisations, but in particular it is the centre of construction, government and engineering projects and organisations.

This unique program will equip you with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage projects and contracts within the Australian legal framework. The skills you learn from this specialist area pair well with the advanced knowledge and skills you will gain in project, program and portfolio management.

Project management is a highly valued discipline, with demand increasing for individuals with project management skills in the Australian workforce1. Many industries rely on specialist project and program professionals with excellent practical skills and advanced knowledge to plan and deliver projects on time, within budget, objectives, specifications, and outcomes that ultimately deliver value to their organisation and stakeholders.

This degree uses A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK® Guide) as a learning framework. It is the international standard practice and approach to project management that can be applied across different industries, businesses and government institutions.

Throughout the course, you will gain technical skills and professional knowledge to apply project management methodology, tools and techniques, and strategic expertise necessary for managing complex projects across various industries. The program will prepare you to take charge and lead projects from inception to commissioning, and offer knowledge-based solutions to drive a successful completion. The project management thesis provides an opportunity for students to undertake a practical research project that can focus on an issue within a specialised area or workplace.


What you'll learn

Throughout this program, you will learn advanced knowledge in project, program and portfolio management, its widely applicable tools and techniques, and attain a versatile range of skill sets that you can apply to any complex project.

You will have the opportunity to take courses such as Construction Contract Management, Negotiation, and Construction Claims and Dispute Resolution. You will learn the fundamental legal principles, standards, methodologies, and Australian contract management practices relevant to building, construction, engineering, and government. You will also complete a practical-oriented Master thesis.
