This particular course has been developed specifically to satisfy the demand for one of the fastest growing professional groups – project management.
The line between success and failure in any project is a lot of pressure on any manager’s shoulders. Empowering yourself with project management skills and business acumen will ensure you can be a successful, dynamic leader.
Project managers are in demand in the modern workplace. If you are a young graduate, our degree will enable you to enter managerial level employment with confidence. If you are a mature student it will help to improve and develop your experience.
Business is a broad and fascinating subject with many different, specialist areas. The MSc Management with Project Management framework is a combination of truly contemporary, specialist units and our internationally rich culture provides a global perspective on management in practice across the globe. In addition, the core units will encourage students to participate in contemporary management debate whilst gaining a wider understanding of the different management functions and how they are inter-related.
Students will also benefit from a number of cutting edge units that draw on current research undertaken within the Management Group’s research centre (Centre of Research in Management). The findings from this research will inform students on the issues relevant in today's business environment.
We aim to enable you to critically evaluate and apply the key concepts, fundamentals, tools and competencies of project management. Your learning environment will include workshops and lectures supported by new technology and online material. There will also be a mix of teamwork and individual study encouraging you to become independent learners via research and project work.
This course aims to impart to graduates, from any academic background, advanced knowledge of organisations, their management and the changing environmental contexts within which they operate. You will explore project management in a dynamic way – ensuring that the principles you acquire are as applicable in a marketing or service-led organisation as in an engineering or manufacturing organisation.
