One distinctive feature of our courses is that they are delivered by a University, and not a training company – a fact that has attracted many delegates and has held us in high regard by both APMG and the Cabinet Office.
The University of Chester offers a unique opportunity to study Programme and Project Management – including PRINCE2® and Management of Risk® – with a UK Cabinet Office (CO) Accredited Training Organisation (ATO).
The courses are run by the New Technology Initiative (NTI) – a centre within the University of Chester. The NTI has built an extensive portfolio of Programme and Project Management (PPM) courses and delivered them to over 500 students. These qualifications are validated and rigorously assessed annually by the external body, APMG – an agent of the CO.

We have had numerous requests, both from overseas and home markets, to provide wider and deeper academic courses in these subjects which will lead to a Masters award, with optional exams in any of the above external qualifications. By combining our own, new, modules with our professional courses, we have designed a programme which has appeal to a broad range of people.
This programme has a flexible framework for the accreditation of work based and work related learning. It allows students negotiate their own pathway of learning related to their work and tailored to their own needs and interests.
The recent troubles in the banking sector, together with the subsequent economic downturn, have led to a marked increase in people wishing to a) provide a substantial PPM qualification to their CV and b) appreciate the consequences and foundations of project and risk management. These two fundamental subject domains apply to businesses and organisations of all sizes and are now seen to be crucial in providing good management practices.
Further, Quality Management, via ‘Lean’ techniques, is increasing in importance and popularity, as businesses seek to take control of the minutiae of their operations both to improve quality and efficiency, and keep tight control of costs.
Our MSc will take you beyond the CO qualifications to build your confidence in running complex projects within your organisation, or give you that extra edge when applying for project management posts.
The course involves distance learning with occasional two- or three-day seminars at Thornton Science Park.
Applicants will normally be expected to have a first degree (2:2 honours minimum) and two years’ experience of a role on programmes or projects (or no degree and two or more years’ experience).
