MSc Project Management

Projects bring together people, budgets, technology, deadlines and competing priorities. At Kent, you’ll learn how to manage that complexity and make the decisions that keep projects moving and organisations changing. You’ll develop advanced skills across project planning and control, agile methods, strategy, finance and risk, data and AI, benefits realisation and future-focused project management. You’ll apply what you learn to complex, real-world problems, developing the critical thinking, problem-solving and leadership skills to work confidently with incomplete information and changing circumstances. You’ll also have the opportunity to take your learning into professional practice. With our Professional Practice & Placement pathway, you can spend a second year gaining substantial workplace experience – or continue through the Professional Practice route, which includes experiential learning, industry activity and a guaranteed virtual internship. By graduation, you’ll be ready to lead projects, programmes and portfolios across sectors – with the judgement and adaptability to deliver change in a complex and constantly evolving world.

A minimum of a second-class UK degree, or an equivalent internationally recognised qualification in any subject area is needed for this course. All applicants are considered on an individual basis and those without an honours degree may also be considered on the basis of work experience, professional qualifications and the relevance of the programme to their current professional role.
