Why Master of Business
& Project Management at APIC?
Business & Industry Focus – Real World Impact – Enhanced Employability
This course emphasises a holistic approach, exploring the essential areas
of project management knowledge and skills with a strong business
emphasis. With a focus on the practical application of theoretical
concepts and learning, graduates will be prepared with an understanding
of project management and business, to enable them to thrive in the
business world and launch careers with confidence.
The MBPM course uses an Applied Research Methodology aimed at finding
solutions for immediate problems facing society, industry and business
today. This approach means you can apply your learning through the MBPM
to real world, specific issues.
This methodology is favoured by industry and businesses,
and the knowledge and skills you will gain through applied research study
are in demand by employers around the world.
Many other business and project management courses on the market offer a
fundamental research methodology instead, which deals with the
formulation of theories and outcomes of a more generalised nature. But, we
want our graduates to have a real world impact and using an Applied
Research Methodology gives you the best possible chance of future
employment and career development.
The new web interface is really easy to use and intuitive. Navigating from week to week is simple and access to the lecture videos, tutorials and other functions is straightforward. Being in a small class group, the lecturers have been very flexible in arranging tutorial times, quiz times and assignment submissions based on the needs of the students.
