About this degree
Students gain a systems view of project management, so they can develop effective technical solutions within a constrained commercial context. We teach students a number of guiding principles to enable them to manage complex projects and help them to develop key skills such as risk management, requirements management, conflict resolution, effective communication and leadership.
The MSc programme requires completing of eight 15-credit modules and one 60-credit module.
The 15 credit modules include five compulsory taught modules, one option taught module, and two minor research modules: the Project Concept module and the Project Simulation (PS). The 60-credit module is the final research.
It is recommended to choose one of Transformation for Sustainability or Lifecycle Management as the option module, although there are other alternatives.
Who this course is for
The programme is for ambitious project managers and those wanting to move from engineering roles into project management roles. The programme is targeted at relatively experienced individuals working in industry and who are supported by their employers. Independent students with appropriate industrial experience will also be considered.
