Graduate Diploma in Engineering Project Management
Being able to plan and manage projects is a core set of skills and understanding that underpins all branches of engineering.
In this program you will:
- Develop skills in engineering contracts and procurement, risk, project resource planning, project execution and more
- Develop professional engineering competencies in project management, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, communication
- Have the opportunity to upgrade your qualification later by completing an additional 4 courses to earn a Master of Engineering Project Management

Additional student costs
In order to meet the requirements of these courses, students may be expected to provide their own personal safety equipment (boots, hard hats, safety glasses, etc.) when requested by the relevant Course Coordinator. This will be done at the students’ own expense. Students must also arrange regular access to the internet and suitable computing facilities to undertake the work required in the engineering courses. Engineering Project Management students may be expected to successfully complete a White Card Safety induction course in the event that they are required to enter a construction site as part of their studies. Course Coordinators will advise if and when this card is required. (For more details, contact your Program Coordinator).
Commonwealth supported places
Commonwealth supported places are substantially subsidised by the Australian Government so that students only pay 'student contribution" amounts. The student contribution amount will vary depending on the course you are studying and how much funding the Government provides.
If you accept a Commonwealth supported place you are a Commonwealth supported student. As a Commonwealth supported student you must make a contribution towards the cost of your education (unless you are enrolled in Enabling or Tertiary Preparation Pathway courses) with the majority of the cost met by the Commonwealth Government.
Commonwealth supported places are only available to domestic students. As a domestic student you are entitled to a Commonwealth supported place in an eligible program if you:
- meet the citizenship and residency requirements
- complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF)
- meet the University's entry requirements for your chosen program.
Fee-paying places
A fee-paying place is not covered by any government subsidy, and you are required to pay the full cost of the courses you are studying.
If you accept a fee-paying place, you can defer the cost of your studies via a FEE-HELP loan. Eligibility for a FEE-HELP loan is the same as for a Commonwealth-supported place. You must:
- meet the citizenship and residency requirements
- complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF)
- meet the University's entry requirements for your chosen program.
Domestic applicants apply for admission direct to UniSC.
