It facilitates the essential skills and competences necessary to plan, monitor, control and deliver successful projects. It focuses on developing skills for careers in project management, including both theory and applied aspects, and is mapped against key professional body competencies.

The knowledge, understanding and skills gained during the MSc Project Management course can be applied to a range of environments.
