Engineering Project Management MSc (Eng)

Course overview

The philosophy of our Engineering Project Management MSc is to help you develop a complete and in-depth understanding of Project Management. Indeed, in a dynamic and globalized marketplace, the conventional project management techniques rooted in strategic planning and control fall short. Many contemporary projects involve complex technical issues alongside complexities stemming from unclear environmental conditions. Recently updated to meet the needs of an increasingly dynamic and globalised marketplace, the Engineering Project Management MSc is specifically designed to nurture managers who are adept at steering the intricacies of the most demanding projects.

The Engineering Project Management MSc enables a transformative educational journey where the redefinition of project management takes centre stage. The course takes a holistic view of project management, treating projects as dynamic socio-technical systems. Fostering teamwork is a key theme and sustainability is embedded throughout the curriculum, ensuring graduates are equipped to lead projects with an environmentally conscious approach. Leadership training goes beyond traditional boundaries, preparing you to tackle multifaceted challenges in today’s complex landscape.

You’ll study in the School of Civil Engineering which ranks highly globally and is actively involved in developing internationally excellent research - much of which shapes the course.

This means you’ll be learning industry-relevant knowledge and developing a professional skill set sought after by almost every industry worldwide, opening the door to many career paths in areas like engineering, construction, energy, transport, education and environment.

During your studies, you’ll also have access to specialist facilities that will enhance your learning and be taught by experts who have industry experience in a range of relevant fields.
