Where could your career go?
A degree in project management gives you so many practical skills that will help you find your way into senior roles. From big businesses to non-profits and everything in between, understanding how to coordinate and manage large projects is an invaluable skill. From managing time, cost, quality and risk to the entire process of strategic decision-making, you can make yourself essential in any workplace if you master these skills – here are just some of the job opportunities that could open up for you:
In sectors like IT, healthcare and construction, the demand for project managers is expected to grow massively over the next few years: there are expected to be 33% more jobs worldwide by 2027. As more technology gets introduced and more policies get discussed, people who can incorporate and harness these changes into big team projects will be a vital part of the workforce going forwards.
Salaries in this field have plenty of growing power, too. Depending on which role you go into, salaries in project management are expected to rise by 10-20% over the next 5-10 years, thanks to the uptick in demand. And as it stands now, project managers on larger or more complex projects can earn upwards of $150,000. Getting a Master of Project Management means you can fast-track your way to these more senior roles, learning indispensable professional skills from industry leaders and giving yourself a real advantage in the job market.
