Master of Science - Project Management

The MSc in Project Management equips students with the advanced knowledge and practical skills required for a successful career in project management or consultancy. This one-year master’s programme is taught by leading experts in the field and blends a strong theoretical foundation with the flexibility to tailor the learning pathway towards either the commercial or behavioural management of projects. This newly developed programme prepares students to understand and manage the strategic role of projects in organisations, particularly in the context of the evolving ‘project economy.’

In today’s world, nearly everyone will eventually be involved in a project—whether by initiating it, contributing to its delivery, or benefiting from its outcomes. Effective project management is crucial on a global scale, with the GDP of many countries driven by projects.

Purpose-driven projects are being implemented to address huge challenges and transformations—from achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to meeting climate change and net-zero targets. As a result, many organisations rely on successful projects run by knowledgeable and skilled project managers.

The MSc offers a unique blend of academic rigour and practical experience, preparing graduates for a successful career in the management of projects, programmes, and portfolios. Students will learn how to define, develop, and deliver projects that meet organisational strategic goals, while also enhancing career prospects through a hands-on consultancy project.
