Course Description
We teach working project leaders the skills to deliver reliable and efficient industrial projects and programmes. Going beyond today’s common practices, they develop the skills to assess and critique new and existing practices, as the foundation for a career in successful project leadership. The strategic impact of industrial projects
Whether developing new products, expanding manufacturing capacity, or responding to a competitive threat, projects lie at the heart of business strategy in many industries.
Businesses need not only predictable outcomes, but also high levels of overall performance, innovation and creativity. But how do you achieve this? Project management is a complex endeavour. Despite well-defined bodies of knowledge, overall performance of projects is highly variable, suggesting there is more to project management than completing templates and delegating work.
This course uniquely prepares you for this world. Founded upon the core disciplines of project management, it will not only give you a thorough grounding in common practice, you will also develop the insight and skills needed to challenge these practices and critically evaluate new ideas. You will be stretched and challenged to master the art of strategic project delivery.
Course faculty and industry partners
The programme has been developed in collaboration between the University and industry experts. In addition to the University faculty, the programme has contributions from over 20 experienced project practitioners from our industrial partners, and we regularly add new presenters and contemporary content from around the world.
This programme is studied PART-TIME through DISTANCE-LEARNING.
You study from your home location, and are expected to be working in a project-related role during the course.

To have at least 3 years of experience working in a project environment. To get the best out of this course you need to be able to relate your academic learning and research to the real-life of projects.
If you are not currently working in a project-related environment, please ensure your personal statement discusses how you will be able to relate your studies to the real life of projects, and how you will network with other project professionals as part of your learning.
On very rare occasions we will consider applicants with less experience or no current project position, but the applicant will need to make a strong case in their Personal Statement, and at any subsequent interview.
Your references should be professional rather than academic, coming from someone who has worked with you - ideally in a project environment. We require at least one, ideally two. If you are a non-native English speaker, the reference should (where applicable) refer to how much you worked in English, and how well you did so.
A good academic standard of education. A good first degree is ideal, though we will consider applicants without a degree where they can demonstrate work experience at a reasonable senior level.
Applicants without a first degree, or with little work experience will be considered, but will be required to attend a video interview as part of their application process.
