Master of Communication/Master of Project Management

About

As two foundational organisational, and life skills, communication and project management are the ideal combination to supercharge your postgraduate qualifications.

If you are interested in a career in corporate communications, public relations and organisational communication, you’ll find that the project management extension adds expertise in the planning, implementation and management of projects and programs. Similarly, students pursuing a career in project management benefit by incorporating the all-important fundamental of effective communication and corporate messaging.

Most importantly, having dual qualifications in communication and project management will ensure that your resume stands out in the today’s competitive employment landscape.

Bond’s Master of Communication brings you up-to-date on the risks and opportunities of new and emerging media, examining how they combine with traditional written, verbal and visual communication skills in core business disciplines such as public relations, advertising, organisational communication and more.

Our Master of Project Management steps through the fundamental processes of planning, preparing, implementing and delivering projects in line with client parameters and stakeholder expectations. It also incorporates the core workplace skills – conflict resolution, risk identification, market performance – that impact every stage of the project lifecycle.
