University of EssexColchester Campus, United Kingdom

Course overview

The MSc Global Project Management at the University of Essex provides the skills and knowledge needed to excel in managing projects on a global scale. This programme is designed to be accessible, even if you don't have a prior business degree.

This course teaches you how to manage projects by organizing resources and meeting deadlines, budgets, and quality standards, all while handling risks.
