Bond University Master of Project Management / Master of Project Management (Professional) / Master of Project Innovation: fees, intakes, entry requirements and structure

Bond University offers two project management coursework masters for international students: the Master of Project Management and the Master of Project Management (Professional). Both are taught on campus at Gold Coast, start in September, January or May, and accept a bachelor degree in any field. The Professional version is longer, carries more credit points and costs more. Graduates of Bond’s Bachelor of Project Management are directed to the Master of Project Innovation instead.

Entry requirements

Both programs ask for successful completion of a recognised bachelor degree, or an equivalent qualification, in any field.

Applicants from China and Taiwan are asked for a recognised 4-year bachelor degree that is equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree.

Graduates of Bond’s Bachelor of Project Management cannot take the Master of Project Management. Bond points them to the Master of Project Innovation as an alternative. For the Professional program, Bond words this as a suggestion that those graduates may consider the Master of Project Innovation.

English language requirements

Two test scores are listed for both programs:

IELTS Academic: overall 6.5, with no sub-score below 6.0.
PTE Academic: overall 58, with no communicative score below 50.

How to read the fee figures

Bond states that the tuition figures are a guide only. They vary with the subjects you choose and the year you start, and the fee that applies is the one for your year of entry.

The two-year gap is visible in the totals. The Master of Project Management rises from AUD 66,645 to AUD 69,675 between 2026 and 2027 entry. The Professional program rises from AUD 73,275 to AUD 76,605.

Which program fits which applicant

The choice comes down to structure and cost:

Choose the Master of Project Management for 120 credit points over 1 year 4 months.
Choose the Professional version for 165 credit points over 92 weeks.
Applicants with Bond’s own Bachelor of Project Management need the Master of Project Innovation.

Fees, intakes and entry requirements are subject to what Bond publishes for the year you enter.
