MSc Management with Project Management has been developed to provide students with a solid understanding of the fundamental subjects needed to manage a business and projects within a complex changing environment. Projects are ubiquitous nowadays, formalising the way in which companies organise and implement the constant improvements required to successfully operate in competitive markets and usually involving high risk and uncertainty.
Modules in finance, project planning, risk, and procurement can help to equip students with the tools, techniques, and knowledge to be able to work effectively in different contexts. Students have the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills in key areas such as leadership, marketing, financial analysis, and people management as well as focusing on project planning, delivering projects and programmes, and risk management.
MSc Management with Project Management is open to applicants from all educational backgrounds. No previous experience of management studies or project management is required. For those who have already studied a related discipline, this course offers the opportunity to progress their knowledge to an advanced level. The programme is also suitable for those who have proven managerial experience which they wish to consolidate with academic qualifications.

The programme brings together relevant contemporary academic theories and research with practical understanding of project management within organisations. This will be developed by enabling students to share knowledge, relate this to theories developed from relevant research, and learning by practical application. Through the development of an integrated and critically aware understanding of management in the context of contemporary business issues, the programme involves students in a demanding process of personal and professional development.
Our focus on the international dimensions of business and management and project management reflects the global environment in which organisations increasingly function. This global mindset is realised in our international faculty and student community. Our academics and students are drawn from all over the world, and bring with them unique experiences and perspectives which can enrich students' learning.
Each module typically consists of two weekly teaching hours over a teaching term. Students will normally study four modules per term. Please note, irrespective of whether students are full-time or part-time, their hours of study may vary from term to term and can be spread throughout the week.
This programme can be studied full-time or part-time to meet the needs of students who are seeking to develop their career by combining academic study with their existing employment. Students planning to study the degree on a part-time basis, will be studying two modules per term and would usually be expected to complete the programme within two years. The programme is available for either a September or February start.
Postgraduate level study involves a significant proportion of independent study, exploring the material covered in lectures and seminars. As a general guide, for every hour in class, students are expected to spend at least three to four hours in independent study.
Although a proportion of the contact time will be spent in teaching, emphasis will also be placed upon the use of the student group as a resource for learning. The style of teaching will vary to reflect individual module objectives. There will also be group discussions of practical situations and problems, making an extensive use of case studies in national and international contexts, simulation materials and, where relevant, students' own experiences.
