This course is designed for people who lack any project management knowledge or experience to prepare for a career in this field. A 2023 study by the Project Management Institute identified that 2.3 million people will be needed each year to fill roles in the sector expected to open by 2030. This talent gap means that anyone taking this programme will be in a great position to apply for and secure project management vacancies.
Combining an analytical and hands-on approach to projects aimed at addressing real-world issues critically and pragmatically, this course will fully prepare you for career opportunities in management and policy-making positions in all sectors ranging from private firms in corporate and entrepreneurial settings (manufacturing, services, etc) to public organisations (government, health care and more).
