Education
MSc
Project Management Practice
Project
management has become a key competence for most organisations in
the public and private sectors. Driven by recent business trends
such as fewer management layers, greater flexibility, increasing
geographical distribution and more project-based work, project management
has grown beyond its roots in the construction, engineering and
aerospace industries to transform the service, financial, computer,
and general management sectors.

practice of managing and leading projects. Students come from a
variety of backgrounds and environments and throughout the course
will gain exposure to new perspectives, approaches, frameworks and
