PMGT6850: Project Studies Capstone

2024 unit information

The capstone project aims to provide students with the opportunity to carry out a defined piece of workplace related research and assessment in a way that fosters the development of practical and research skills relevant to project, program and portfolio management. Students will work in small teams on an approved project for the semester. The concepts covered depend on the nature of the project. Students are encouraged to work on a project drawn from or situated in their workplace which would benefit from insights provided by a diverse student team. The intention is to demonstrate integration of learning from the course and the ability to apply this to an identified and defined project.
