Projecting a successful careerNot knowing what to pursue straight out of high school, Master of Project Management student Sarah Kemp decided to discontinue the degree she had started and went straight into the workforce full-time.

It was only after seeing a need to grow her professional skills that Sarah decided to go back to university. Sarah was able to use her work experience to gain entry into the Graduate Certificate of Project Management, giving her a pathway to go into her current degree, the Master of Project Management.

When looking for a program to study, Sarah knew it was important to undertake something that was flexible. “I have returned to study part time, while working full time, and as a mum to a 2 year old and a 5 year old. It’s not easy, but the flexibility offered at the University of South Australia has made studying much easier. The online resources have really helped, as I have the ability to access them from home”.
