Advanced Project Management (960N1)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

In this module, you study project management at an advanced level. You go beyond the traditional 'planning and control' approach to project management and look at significant uncertainities, unexpected environmental and market changes, leadership challenges and hidden agendas.

You will learn:

• the limitations of the traditional approach to project management
• to consider broader factors in project management, such as organisational, behavioural and political-economic factors, which may affect project performance. 

It is expected that you will already have a basic knowledge of project management.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 33 hours of contact time and about 117 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2021/22. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
