Career Path
- Projects are one of the most common methods used by organisations and companies in every sector and all over the world to deliver both operational and strategic objectives, which means that having advanced project management skills can open doors to a vast range of career options.
Our MSc Project Management degree offered at the University of Westminster has been designed to produce ‘hands-on’ professionals with career possibilities in project management, either as project managers in their own right or as members of a programme, portfolio or project office. Our focus on planning, resource management, decision-making, leadership, benefits management, sustainability and responsibility will provide you with essential practical skills that can be applied in a multitude of managerial positions. This opens up broader career opportunities to you as a project planner, risk manager, quality manager or estimator, either directing or managing projects.
