Master of Project Management & Business (MPMB)

APIC recognises the need to facilitate continued opportunities for the pursuit of formal education through the recognition of previous learning. The Award of Credit Policy outlines the principles, procedures, and limits for recognition of a student’s prior learning (RPL) and experience through the awarding of credit towards an APIC award course.

Students study 12 units in total. Students can undertake this program in an intensive mode or spread over a longer period of time to accommodate both personal and professional needs.
