Overview
Our intensive, one-year MSc Management with a specialism in Project Management is for graduates from a wide range of subject backgrounds. It is not necessary to have prior academic or practical experience in business or management. It will especially suit students pursuing management careers in consultancy, engineering or construction, product development, ICT, government, or not-for-profit sectors.
Our MSc Management pathways provide an introduction to management followed by a detailed exploration of a specific area of management theory and practice, in this case project management. The programme attracts students from around the globe and you will be part of a cohort with a variety of backgrounds and interests.
The MSc provides the theoretical foundations that enable you to critically analyse and manage projects in our increasingly complex and dynamic world. We aim to guide, teach, and nurture confident analytical and critical thinkers capable of challenging approaches to projects that too often fail. You will gain insight into the nature of project management and apply theory to practice through in-class discussions of real cases and practical methods. Group projects will develop teamwork, communication, and practical skills expected in today's workplace.
