Project Management in Professional Practice

Course aim

To provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate an advanced and integrated understanding of a complex body of knowledge in a real-world, industry or professional project management context.

Course content

This course will consolidate student's learning by reflecting, analysing, documenting and communicating their experiences and through generation of key project management documents that will have enduring value in the world of practice.

Students will work in teams to generate a suite of project management documents for an actual or hypothetical project from industry or professional practice.

Students will record their learning experiences, relating them to the application of theoretical principles and professional practices as observed in the workplace. Students will then reflect on their experiential learning and document this experience in a final, summative assessment piece.
