Key Course Facts

Course Description

This postgraduate Project Management, Finance and Risk programme is for those pursuing or planning a career in managing the introduction of capital goods or applying the latest project management techniques to complex projects. It is particularly suited to students with a scientific or financial engineering background as we cover quantitative risk assessment in depth, which requires an aptitude for measuring and analysing data.

Objectives

Consider the risks contained within a project such as the Euro Tunnel. Two governments sponsoring the project and nine billion pounds of finance ring-fenced through a special purpose company to complete it. Will it be finished on time and will it secure the revenues to service the debt? These are the kinds of questions we address on this programme.

MSc Project Management, Finance and Risk gives you a foundation in quantitative risk assessment and decision-making under uncertain conditions, coupled with classical engineering economics and financial engineering.

From analysing indecision within games theory to rebuilding a country’s infrastructure, we explore the drivers in which businesses operate, and the challenges and opportunities that project managers face. Teaching is provided by internal and external lecturers with expertise in the field. This is complemented by invited lectures from the Bayes Business School, together with people from industry and the banking sector who bring in diverse skill sets and the ability to solve complex problems.

You will learn across a variety of lectures, tutorials, guided private study, group activities, and coursework. There are four core modules and two electives. From the two electives you can choose four or five topics including games theory, perspectives on management and leadership and entrepreneurship, innovations and enterprise. The course is organised so that each module is taught in a block of four days followed by tutorial support, guided private study, coordinating activities, and coursework.
