MSc International Project Management with Advanced Practice

Managing international projects presents unique challenges. This Masters Progamme addresses the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to successfully manage projects that span organizations, national boundaries and cultural differences.

In this programme you will explore the impact on project management of culture, language variations, religious, contractual, regulatory and legal practices, technology penetration, temporal orientation, gender issues, corruption, ethics, personal liberty and political contexts. We learn how to meet international project challenges through efficient use of practices and technology. The Programme will utilize available case studies and examples from global companies to help you sharpen the skills needed to recognize and foster a successful international project environment.

The Advanced Practice version of this course offers you a valuable opportunity to secure a work placement or complete an individual research activity, giving you experience of the workplace environment or being part of an academic research team, and an excellent way to put your learning into practice or developing your research career potential. This stage of the programme will take place between your second and final semester, and is a semester long (15 weeks) in duration.
