Project Management Research Project

This project-based course carries nine (9) credits, and provides the student with the opportunity to integrate knowledge and skills learned throughout the programme, and should normally be taken as the last course in the delivery of the programme. Conceptual work on the Project will begin at the end of the first semester, and the project should be completed by the end of the fourth semester.

Students develop, design and present a project; plan and justify the project; work to satisfy performance, schedule and budget requirements; adjust for unplanned occurrences; and provide status reports. As an alternative, the student may opt to pursue an internship project, within the mainstream of their area of specialisation, that is approved by the Academic Unit involved.
