Asia Pacific International College (APIC) has announced that four Foundation scholarships, valued up to AUD$12,500 each, will awarded to students from Thailand to study Master or MBA degrees focused on Project and Program Management. In addition, the College will extend limited scholarships to runner ups.
Despite being a relatively new field, project and program management qualifications and expertise are in great demand across the board worldwide. However, few students realise the value or potential of this field and thus miss the opportunity to pursue a career in this field. APIC believes in rewarding academic talent and inspiring the next generation of project and program managers. The APIC Foundation scholarships demonstrate the College’s commitment to nurturing the development of project, program and organisation leaders.
The scholarships will be offered to students from Thailand interested in pursuing either Master of Business and Project Management or the MBA (Project and Program Management) degrees full time in Australia for commencement in April and September 2010. Applications close on Friday, 19 February 2010. Asia Pacific International College is an equal opportunity institution. APIC reserves the right not to proceed with the above scholarships on academic, financial or other grounds.
APIC is at the forefront of the field of project management and has developed unique and innovative courseware, diagnostic tools and systems that support management of projects and programs. APIC’s Graduate Programs embrace all dimensions of management of systems, projects and programs.

What is the Foundation Scholarship?
APIC is offering 4 scholarships to full time international students from Thailand in 2010 (2 in April Semester and 2 in September Semester) leading to the degree of Master of Business and Project Management (MBPM) or MBA (Project and Program Management). In addition, the College will extend limited scholarships to runner ups.
APIC invites candidates who are eligible to apply now for the Foundation Scholarships in Project and Program Management for commencement in April and September 2010.
The objective of the Scholarships is to provide opportunities to talented students to train in the field of project and program management. Currently there is an acute shortage of project and program managers worldwide (particularly in emerging economies) and the shortages are expected to worsen over time. The scholarships provide attractive career opportunities for graduates with qualifications in this field.
Each Scholarship is valued at $10,000 (for MBPM) and AU$12,500 (for MBA) and covers around one half of the applicant’s tuition fees (applicants shall be responsible for payment of the rest of their tuition fees and their personal expenses, including textbooks, stationery, printing costs etc).
Degrees and qualifications awarded by APIC are formally recognised and accredited by the government in Australia and have the same standing as those awarded by Australian Universities.
APIC’s programs can turn graduates into competent professionals ready to function in today’s environment. Courses are taught by an internationally regarded team of academics and leading practitioners. Also APIC has advanced tools and systems supporting individual learning and development in a dynamic fashion.
Unlike traditional learning methods, APIC’s approach is project-based and supported by a suite of competence-based tools and support systems. Real project, program and organisation units are used as the site of learning.
What are the objectives of the APIC programs?
The objectives of APIC’s programs are to aid development of a superior grade of project management professionals as project value creators, project and program leaders, strategic thinkers and agents of change in both private and public sectors of the economy. Typical roles to aspire to in industry include Program Manager, Project Director, Senior Project Manager, Executive Project Manager, Department Head, Director etc. Given the complexity and uncertainty that typically characterise large projects and programs, as well as their business environment, project and program leaders need refined leadership and professional skills. Research has shown that this type of far-sighted and well-developed professionals are in demand in industry and government, particularly as the number, size and diversity of national and regional projects and programs increase over the coming decades. .
What is the scope of MBA (PPM)?
The MBA (PPM) is awarded upon completion of 10 course units and the MBA Seminar. On commencement of studies all candidates are required to complete the Professional Development Planning (PDP) workshop as well. The curriculum comprises core, secondary core and advanced studies, covering:
• Leadership, communication, socio-cultural and behavioural studies
• Project and program management studies
• Business management studies
• Organisational, environmental and legal studies
