Project Management
Many people today recognise their organisation's complex infrastructure and technology-based projects have social, environmental and economic impacts - they affect the triple bottom line. They also realise that they need the skills to manage multiple projects to achieve organisational goals; they need to understand the context of projects and follow a clear project model.
If you and your organisation have to achieve ambitious business objectives that require complex and technology-based initiatives, the ECIC Project Management suite of programs will help achieve them.
Our Project Management programs guide you through the leading-edge project management concepts, methodologies and tools. We have a strong emphasis on holistic and systems-based project management methods, combined with the practical application of concepts, techniques and tools.

Project Management Programs can be studied fulltime or partime. The minimum study load is one course per semester. The following links will take you to Program Finder where you can access the program outline, admission requirements and study plan for the program you're interested in:
