Study Details: MSc 19 months full-time
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness and appreciation for the use of project management techniques in a much wider range of business settings. This, in part, is due to increasing competition and a business imperative which recognises that to achieve competitive advantage, the efficiency and success of each and every project is vital.
This exciting new Masters in Applied Project Management contextualises the practice of project management within specific sectors and will give you the generic skills and competencies required to fulfil your business and organisational needs.
Why choose this course?
This full-time version is with Internship of 6 months duration, with dissertation development. This allows completion within 18 months. To support Internship two non-assessed modules of Personal and Professional Development and Employability Skills and Employment are incorporated within the course and allocated tutor for internship.
The Internship Course seeks to provide the same rigorous and challenging programme of professional practice as the MSc Applied Project Management but has the added advantage of including a 6 months internship incorporated into the period of study. This makes it ideal for students seeking to add a practical dimension to their studies and understand the demands of workplace supervision and management. Internship opportunities exist throughout the industry within the UK.
The practical approach to teaching and learning is enhanced through the two distinct pathways of Computing and Enterprise Management as well as a final dissertation that allows for even deeper focus on your chosen career sector.
The course will allow you to study the latest techniques in project management and apply them to a specialist area of computing and enterprise management.
