Course Details

The MSc in Project Management course provides an opportunity to develop a strategic and global outlook when managing projects in a wide variety of organisations. It is aimed at students who have previously studied business and management at undergraduate level or have an equivalent level of professional experience. Please see the Entry Requirements Tab for further details.

The activities that change business processes and practices – the launch of new products and services or the integration of new processes – involve multiple stakeholders and considerable resources, often across many teams and functional units, increasing the inherent risk associated with any organisational change. As well as developing your knowledge and experience of the key project management tools and methodologies, including PRINCE2, PMBOK, APM BoK, and Agile approaches, our strong business focus aims to provide a thorough grounding in strategic thinking, commercial acumen, organisational structures and cultures in order to lead and manage change more effectively.

In your final semester, you can choose to spend time on a company internship, typically lasting eight to 12 weeks (subject to competitive application, availability, meeting any applicable visa requirements and additional fees may apply). In the past, we have supported previous students to take on business and product development roles in companies in the UK, such as Aston Martin or Jaguar Land Rover to mention a few.
