Master of Management (Engineering)

CQUniversity’s Master of Management (Engineering) recognises the knowledge and skills already developed by engineers and expands their competencies further so they can evaluate, plan and manage in the areas of human resources, including people, work, employment and organisation. This program is ideal for engineers seeking professional development or who want to enhance their career opportunities and improve employability. It has a focus on management and business, but in an engineering environment. The courses in the program focus on the management of engineering projects, with an emphasis on human resources and strategy.

This program will help you identify and apply appropriate solutions to the management of projects including leadership, management, governance, project management, systems theory and strategic integration.
