    About

    Study with us

    Studying an MSc in Project Management & Innovation at Strathclyde Business School will prepare graduates from any background with the fundamentals of project management. You'll learn at a pioneering internationally-renowned academic organisation that develops the business minds of tomorrow.

    An award-winning institution, we're the only institution to have won the Times Higher Education University of the Year award twice (2012/2019).

    • develop the skills to manage complex technology and innovation projects
    • be prepared for a career in industries ranging from manufacturing and services to the public sector
    • opportunity to work on a live issue for a business client

    Why this course?

    This course is designed for people who lack any project management knowledge or experience to prepare for a career in this field. A 2023 study by the Project Management Institute identified that 2.3 million people will be needed each year to fill roles in the sector expected to open by 2030. This talent gap means that anyone taking this programme will be in a great position to apply for and secure project management vacancies.

    Combining an analytical and hands-on approach to projects aimed at addressing real-world issues critically and pragmatically, this course will fully prepare you for career opportunities in management and policy-making positions in all sectors ranging from private firms in corporate and entrepreneurial settings (manufacturing, services, etc) to public organisations (government, health care, etc).

    Distinctive features of the course include:

    • a highly practical, career-focused programme, addressing a global skills gap for effective project managers
    • core project management classes enhanced and embedded by professional development and project management in practice modules
    • studying technological and socio-economic trends and the role of innovation and projects for transformative change
    • a Consulting in Practice module, which provides an opportunity to put into practice all that you've learned from the programme and allows you, as part of a small team, to work on a live issue for a client organisation
    • collaboration and engagement with the University’s Technology & Innovation Centre and associated companies
