Graduate Certificate or Diploma of Project Management overview

The Graduate Certificate in Project Management is an entry-level opportunity to gain a base level understanding of the discipline, with the Graduate Diploma being a great way to become qualified in a short period of time.

Employment options

Those with a graduate certificate are generally advised to progress toward a diploma for better employment prospects. Doing so can be a lucrative decision, however; diplomas in project management are a quality industry standard.

Scholarships and funding

Funding opportunities for students undertaking a certificate or diploma have limited options when it comes to scholarships, but fortunately, the price of both is often a fraction of master level courses. Opportunities like the Results Migration Scholarships are still available to Graduate Certificate of Project Management students, however.

Prerequisites and selection process

Entry into the graduate certificate requires either 5 years of professional experience or a bachelor degree of any variety. The diploma generally has similar requirements; the University of Adelaide offers the course to those who’ve completed either a bachelor degree of any sort or a Certificate in Applied Project Management.
