APM accreditation

The MSc Project Management takes a generic approach to project management. It offers a thorough understanding of the project manager's role and a broad understanding of the management processes and practices involved in developing and running projects from start to finish. The programme develops the knowledge and applied skills needed to manage projects across a wide range of organisations and disciplines. Uniquely, the programme recognises that management is an individual and personal activity: every manager manages in their own way. The study therefore makes it possible to build a personal approach to project management, grounded in good general management and specialist project management skills. It combines advanced theory with research modules to create a programme to rely on throughout a career.
