People don't pick one vocation and stick to it for the rest of their lives
Employers are looking for softs skills and the ability to carry a conversation, and how to identify when the business focus needs to come into play. ECU provided a good blend of practical and academic content compared to other institutions. That was compelling.
Belinda Jansen Van Vuuren
ECU Master of Project Management
The support from ECU's lecturers, learning consultants and dedicated librarians was amazing.
I chose ECU as this degree has not only been developed in consultation with industry experts, but is also accredited by the Australian Institute of Project Management, and the Project Management Institute.
The support from ECU's lecturers, learning consultants and dedicated librarians was amazing. Other than enhancing my project management skills, this degree has taught me valuable time management skills, taught me to think outside the box and seek better solutions, to be proactive and lead a team while having limited authority to do so.
