Curriculum Course profile Project Management has grown into more than just a specialist subject in the education of managers, engineers and others. Its place as a mainstream management discipline in many organisations is supported widely through academic, government and both public and private sectors. Many of today's organisations are constantly seeking informed and suitably qualified Project Managers to drive a project-based ethos and philosophy. As a result, career opportunities for project managers are continually increasing. Stage 3 requires a period of personal study on a dissertation to be submitted for the award of MSc.
Assessment is by assignments and exams.
Credit is given for each subject passed. This makes it possible to alternate between full time and part time study or even to take some time out from the course. Credit may also be used on other courses or at other institutions, subject to their regulations. The Research Methods unit provides an introduction to the research project which will be a supervised investigation into a specific project management issue chosen by the student. In exceptional cases, admission may be permitted to practising managers who do not possess any of the above but who have substantial relevant experience and who have the potential to meet the demands of the programme.
