Strategic Management of Projects MSc examines how projects shape and direct organisations, industries and wider systems of change. Designed for experienced professionals, the course moves beyond operational project delivery to explore how strategic decisions are made in complex organisational and economic contexts. 


Through engagement with the material of diverse modules, you explore the strategic, organisational and socio-political dimensions of projects. You will develop understanding across areas including governance, leadership, innovation, risk, decision-making, supply chains and organisational strategy, while considering how projects operate within wider economic, social and political contexts. 


The course places strong emphasis on critical thinking, reflective leadership and strategic judgement. Rather than focusing only on operational project delivery, you are encouraged to embed the projects within the broader context of organisation and challenge assumptions, evaluate complexity and develop confidence in your own management approach. 


Teaching is informed by academics, industry practitioners and policymakers, while case-based learning and discussion encourage you to challenge assumptions, evaluate complexity and develop your own strategic leadership approach. 


You will gain the strategic insight, leadership and management capabilities, and interdisciplinary perspective needed to lead complex projects and organisational transformation across a wide range of sectors.
