Delivered over one-year full time, this program will allow students to enhance their knowledge of the project environment and equip them with the skills to become practicing project professionals.
Accredited by the Association of Project Management (APM) and aligned to their 7th Body of Knowledge, students will study the place of projects within the broader context of program and portfolios and the governance structures that facilitate project delivery.

Students will apply their learning to the completion of a dissertation or case study analysis project.
In this course students will:
- Differentiate the role of projects, programs, portfolios and how they relate to business-as-usual activities.
- Define and model appropriate project governance structures for a project.
- Understand the difference between project management and project leadership and model behaviors applicable to the situation at hand.
