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.
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.
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.
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.
