Course Overview

Projects are key to the successful implementation of organisational strategy and those people with the right skills to work on projects, programmes and portfolios are increasingly seen as vital to delivery success. Global demand for project managers and project-based roles is increasing to such an extent that demand is seriously outstripping supply and this trend also applies when managing projects in a programme and portfolio way.

On successful completion of the MSc Project Management you will be equipped to take on a challenging career in project management across a range of sectors from Engineering, Construction, Built Environment, Surveying, Manufacturing and Production, Energy/Renewable/Clean Energy, Oil and Gas/Hydrocarbons, Information Technology, Information Systems, Banking, Finance, Retail, Media and Creative Industries, Third Sector, Charity (Non-Governmental Organisation), Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Military, Health, Social Care, Legal and range of sectors/disciplines/domains. You will also be able to develop your current project management skills and experience to be able to specialise in such areas as risk management, finance and contract management or to take on more of a leadership role in your organisation's portfolio of projects and programmes.

Upon completion of the MSc, you can undertake further study at the doctoral level via research or professional routes.
