Project Management

Why study project management?

The course will provide you with the relevant knowledge, understanding and experience of applying practical skills in project management, which will equip you to succeed as a project manager.

Whilst you will specialise in project management, the characteristics of the course will also provide a focus on the interdisciplinary nature of the subject and how project management is integrated within organisations and latest methodologies applied in practice.

In demand across almost every type of business, skilled project managers are needed to lead on projects of different types and scale, to ensure they are delivered on time, in scope and budget.

Project managers with a strong grasp of the latest methodologies and frameworks, who can help companies embrace different approaches and strategies, are particularly sought after.

This work is well suited to individuals who enjoy seeing tasks through to completion and thrive on organising resources and people. You will be on the front line of managing teams, making strategic decisions and using skills that add value across many areas of business.
