Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time, 5 years flexible
In today’s fast-moving, global marketplace, traditional project management techniques based around strategic planning and control are not enough. Many modern projects are not only complicated (tough technical problems needing co-ordination across many suppliers) but also complex (with unclear requirements). The new Management of Complex Projects MSc has been designed to produce project managers equipped to lead the most challenging of projects.
Students gain a systems view of project management, so they can develop effective technical solutions within a constrained commercial context. We teach students a number of guiding principles to enable them to manage complex projects and help them to develop key skills such as risk management, requirements management, conflict resolution, effective communication and leadership.
The MSc programme requires completing of eight 15-credit modules and one 60-credit module.
The 15 credit modules include five compulsory taught modules, one option taught module, and two minor research modules: the Project Concept module and the Project Simulation (PS). The 60-credit module is the final research.
It is recommended to choose one of Transformation for Sustainability or Lifecycle Management as the option module, although there are other alternatives.
A minimum of a second-class Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. At least two years’ experience working in a project environment is expected.
