Are you well-organised, good at communicating and like to complete tasks as efficiently as possible? Use it to your advantage – build a career in Project Management.
Plan, manage and oversee projects and their implementation; assemble your project team, monitor its members’ success; be involved, foresee challenges and offer quick solutions; use your broad expertise in business management, technology and psychology to get the best out of teams, and ensure that everyone is working together in harmony.
If this sounds appealing to you, the consecutive master’s programme in Project Management is your first step towards a career that ticks all of the above boxes. This master’s degree is offered in two different programmes:
The 120-ECTS programme, for students with an undergraduate degree in economics or engineering. This four-semesters (or longer) programme will develop your undergraduate skills and prepare you for managerial responsibilities related to project work. You’ll learn how to implement a wide range of project management methods and best practices, along with honing the various soft skills that will help you manage diverse teams in ambitious projects.
The 60-ECTS programme is available for students with a 240-ECTS undergraduate degree and professional experience in project management roles, as well as some form of undergraduate degree.
You’ll begin your studies by developing your familiarity with project management best practices, project management requirements, the strategic aspects of taking managerial decisions and leadership principles.
Later on, you’ll focus on change management, agile work, creative work systems and soft skills such as interpersonal communication.
In this highly orientation-focused programme, you’ll apply your new skills in a practical project simulation, in order to gain real, work-ready experience.
You’ll also have the chance to deepen your skills with an elective topic of your choice (or two, depending on your programme). You have a wide selection of modules to choose from, be they international project management standards such as SCRUM or Prince2, or topics from the wider world of business administration.
The future of work possesses many new challenges: coordinating team members who work remotely, gaining insights from advanced data metrics, implementing agile work systems. This is exactly why a well-rounded project manager, who combines business skills with technical proficiency, is a crucial factor in the success of large-scale, complex projects.
