Project Managers are responsible for the strategic management of projects, ensuring their completion within the constraints of time, cost and quality. This course will develop critical awareness of project management approaches and change management in a global business environment, as well as within wider society. It is a conversion course that will enable students to change subject or career direction.

Students will also develop their personal leadership skills in order to be a successful and responsible manager. In addition, the core units will encourage students to participate in contemporary management debates whilst gaining a wider understanding of management functions and how they are related.

Students' learning environment will include workshops and lectures supported by new technology and online material.
