Course detail & modules

Course detail & modules

On this career-oriented applied project management course, you will learn how to use structured concepts and frameworks to tackle unstructured, complex real-world scenarios. You can expect to see core theories reflected and tested in your case studies and in-course assessments.

The course is divided into three parts. This will help to develop your skills in general project management as well as more subject-specific practice areas.

The three parts are:

1. Four core modules covering contemporary project management and its relation to other areas of a business or organisation:

  • Principles of Project Management
  • Strategic Portfolio Management
  • Team Dynamics and Leadership
  • Project Finance and Marketing.

2. A choice of one specialist module to focus on either Computing (Consultancy and Technical Innovation module) OR Enterprise Management (Managing Innovation and Change).

3. The Research Methods module and Dissertation OR, if you are doing an internship, you will take the Employability Skills and Employment module and its related dissertation.

If you are an international student you also will need to take the Learning and Professional Development module, which focuses on transferable skills including presentation and problem-solving.

Pre-Masters (Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters)

Our Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters courses are intended for students who already have an undergraduate degree but don't meet the entry requirements to study for a Masters degree.

Over a full-time semester, you will study four modules specially designed to improve your academic and English language skills:

  • Advanced Study Skills
  • Critical Thinking, Analysis and Evaluation
  • Statistics
  • English (Business English on the Enhanced course)

Once completed, you will progress directly onto the core Masters course.

What's the difference between an Extended Masters and an Enhanced Extended Masters? The Enhanced Extended Masters is similar to the Extended Masters but with a greater focus on improving your English skills. It also includes a Business English module which will allow you to gain a full understanding of this critical subject area.

For more information see our Pre-Masters page. 

Internship*

You can take this course with a six-month internship in the UK. This option will add a practical dimension to your studies and help you to understand the demands of workplace supervision and management.

You will be assigned a personal tutor for this period. Your dissertation subject will be related to your internship.

Please note: There is no guarantee that you will be successful in securing an internship. If you are unable to secure a placement/internship opportunity, the University will transfer you to the non-internship/placement route. 

*The internship route for this course is open to UK students only.
