MSc Project Management

Develop your strategic and practical approaches to managing projects in a range of environments. You will gain an understanding of the principles and practice of project management. We will give you the tools and techniques to contribute to the delivery of projects. You will also have the opportunity to gain professional certifications such as APFQ; APMQ; CAPM; PMP and PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner.

This programme will be delivered online. This online initiative recognises trends towards independent ways of learning and virtual forms of communicating, whilst maintaining the known benefits of sharing and disseminating experience in a group. Consequently, much of the learning is developed through the establishment of online collaborative learning communities of programme participants and tutors and you will become part of that community of learning. The learning will be led by a joint team from both York Business School and 20/20 to ensure that students are learning the most up-to-date, innovative project management solutions and in-depth, critical academic concepts.

This programme has been uniquely designed in partnership with 20/20 - the largest independent provider of project management training courses in the UK. They provide project management training solutions for companies and individuals across the UK. The client list includes British Petroleum, EDF Energy and The Ministry of Defence. This unique partnership of an academic institution and a leading project management, business and leadership training and consulting company offers students the opportunity to study both the in-depth academic content and the innovative and effective project management solutions used by some of the UK’s largest companies.

The programme is international in its design and engages with themes on an international basis. Many different cultural contexts will be utilised to help provide the setting for discussions. The distance learning element provides opportunities to grow global networks virtually, as well as creating an environment for cross cultural peer to peer learning.
This programme will be delivered online. The programme is designed to be roll-on and, to facilitate this, the taught modules are delivered in a linear order and students may commence the programme in September and January. 

If you choose to study the two year, part time option you will study two modules per semester. Choosing the three year option will mean you study just one module per semester.
