Our Project Management MSc is designed to facilitate the development of technical competence in areas including risk management, monitoring, and control of projects, procurement, as well as a core understanding of operations management principles, which can plague project delivery.
Learning will be action and practice-focused, with students testing out theory and knowledge within their own current or previous organisational contexts and experience and seeking out actionable knowledge in response to current problems they face. You will reflect on the principles and methodologies of the leading professional Project Management bodies, such as the Association for Project Management (APM) and the Project Management Institute (PMI).
You will be equipped with the appropriate knowledge and expertise to pursue qualifications such as PMQ (APM), PPQ (APM), PMP (PMI), CAPM (PMI) for those with some Project Management experience, or PFQ (APM) for those just starting out.
A UK Scholarship of 10% is available for students residing in the United Kingdom. This scholarship is available for our October 2023 intake for all full master’s awards.
