MSc International Project Management

Realising your dreams has never been easier. Whether you want to work in the public or private sector or set out as an entrepreneur, studying our International Project Management course will reassure stakeholders that you have sound knowledge of project management.

Our postgraduate degree meets the technical requirements of the APM chartered project professional competency framework.

Professional project managers are in significant demand in the UK and internationally.

Recently, agile project managers have been able to escalate and transform projects faster than before, such as with COVID-19 vaccine delivery and the construction of the Nightingale hospitals.

We’ve designed this course with the needs of modern professional project managers in mind. It will enable you to explore project management in a range of contexts, including long-run public sector infrastructure projects and short-to-medium-term projects in private sector businesses, public sector organisations and not-for-profit organisations.

The course content is balanced, with modules on research, leadership, law, innovation, change management and an understanding of the global project management environment.

You’ll find there’s a practical emphasis rather than an overtly academic or theoretical approach; pivotal because the project management function is required to deliver hard and measurable results.

Applicants must have:

• the equivalent of a UK first degree at 2:2 or above plus relevant experience
• previously been taught in English and have sufficient command of English to undertake postgraduate study, or have an IELTS (or equivalent) score of 6.5 or better.

If you have completed a bachelors degree or an equivalent non-UK qualification and did not achieve our required grades for entry, but can demonstrate that your life/work skills would make you suitable, you should still consider applying.

Our published entry requirements are a guide only and our decision will be based on our assessment of your overall suitability for the course. We treat everyone as an individual, which means we will look at your whole application, including any relevant work experience and personal circumstances, as well as your educational qualifications.
