Overview
Our MSc in Project Management is designed for serving military officers, as well as civilians in senior management positions. It has been
designed to meet the demand for skilled project managers, both nationally and internationally, who are able to provide the increasingly
sophisticated knowledge to successfully manage complex projects. Whatever your current role, this course will impart skills and learning to
give you real expertise in strategic project management.
We recognise that successful project management requires good management and organisational skills, therefore the course is built on a
strong foundation of management capabilities, supplemented with specialist project management content. The course empowers every
delegate to develop and sharpen their individual approach to management.
As with many of our other courses, the MSc Project Management is work-based, in that it is a blend of theory and practice, and provides the
academic rigour around your current experience. It is designed to fit with your current commitments and priorities.
The course is accredited by the Association of Project Management (APM), and can be completed by distance learning via our University’s
online Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
