Master of City Planning/Master of Project Management

About

This program has been suspended from September 2023. There are no further intakes of students planned. The following information is retained for students currently enrolled in the program.

As an in-demand skillset that can be applied in every workplace in every industry, project management studies are the ideal extension to supercharge your postgraduate qualifications.
Bond University’s double Master of City Planning and Master of Project Management will significantly expand your career options, adding extra value to potential roles in the planning sector or giving you more flexibility in the choice of industries you can work in.

Throughout the course of your studies, you’ll see how these two disciplines complement each other: The city planning subjects focus on the design and organisation of urban areas, services, and urban infrastructure, while project management looks at how to turn those plans into a deliverable reality.

The benefit of tackling both degrees at the same time is the significant time and cost saving: Either one of these degrees taken as a stand-alone program would take 1 year 4 months (four semesters per degree), whereas the double degree program can be completed in just two years. Most importantly, having dual qualifications in City Planning and Project Management will ensure your CV stands out from every other job application.

Career

What can you do with your degree?

World population growth, rapid urbanisation, climate change and other challenges mean that city planners are in demand worldwide. This means often means bigger, more complex projects as development navigates around existing infrastructure. Complementing city planning expertise with critical skills in project management opens the door to more roles and opportunities in industry.

City planners work with all levels of government and with private developers, planning authorities and community organisations to create environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable urban regions.
