    Course Summary

    London South Bank University’s MSc in Business Project Management is an excellent choice for students with a few years of practical experience and a good Bachelor’s Degree behind them. It will teach you all of the skills you’ll need to take a challenging but rewarding role as a project manager in a wide range of industries, from Education to Health Services and from IT to Regional Government.

    What you learn will correspond largely to the ‘core competencies’ championed by the Association of Project Managers, and that body’s guidance has been instrumental in designing this master’s degree program.

    You’ll study the requirements for running and delivering large projects. These will include pleasing a large number of diverse stakeholders, keeping a delivery schedule and of course adhering to a specific budget. You’ll also learn a wide range of highly transferrable skills which could be applicable to wide range of business contexts beyond project management.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    • Fundamentals of PRINCE2 project management

    You’ll explore ways to deal with innovation, value development and MoV certification.

You’ll use many learning techniques throughout the program including relating the lessons to real world case studies. This will culminate in a study of the PRINCE2 project management methodology, which is quickly becoming the accepted industry standard.

    Career Possiblities

    Very few industries or sectors today can say they have no need of project management professionals. The need for change is great for businesses of all types and sizes, so there will always be a strong demand for project management professionals on an in-house basis and as external consultancies. You’ll be well positioned to deliver your services to the Media, Sports and Leisure, Education, Health Services and IT industries or to bodies in the Local or National Government.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a full MSc degree.

    Applicants must typically have achieved several years of relevant work experience and a 2:2 undergraduate degree, or the international equivalent. Beyond that, a wide range of qualifications are accepted.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. An excellent IELTS score would qualify, for example.
