MSPME continues to provide a mechanism for high level instruction for potential global leaders. Students gain knowledge and experience on how to manage strategic change through projects, as well as developing the personal competencies to enhance careers and contribute to the organizational competitive advantage. This is gained through modules, which are unique and reflect the current and emerging needs of industry.
The structure of the programme comprises three semesters designed and developed to ensure clear academic progression, fully integrated among the three Consortium Institutes. Critical issues in strategic project management are grounded through three interconnected themes: strategic underpinning, project control and integration. Each theme reflects the core strengths of each participating institute, aligned with the learning objectives:
* Semester 1, Heriot-Watt University: provides grounding in strategic project management through strategic underpinning of strategy formulation, programme planning and strategy implementation.
* Semester 2, Politecnico di Milano: develops capabilities for successful implementation of projects through the management and creation of appropriate project control approaches and tools.
* Semester 3, Umeå University: students enhance their learning with an integrated and research-based approach to strategic thinking and project management, completing two integrated modules and a Masters thesis.
