“The MSc in Project Management has given me opportunities that I would not otherwise have got. In a rapidly changing world, project management is becoming more important and I believe this education was decisive in determining whether or not I would get the job I wanted.”


“In addition to the tools and techniques we learned for project management, I especially valued the programme’s emphasis on personal development through various self-reflection assignments. I have learned and achieved an awareness of my strengths and weaknesses, my working capacity and how to work in teams. The summer project was especially useful in terms of applying my knowledge and skills in a real project environment. The reflection and analysis of my behaviour and performance during the experience prepared me for entering working life.”
