Everything starts with a project. Oftentimes, the success of the entire organization hinges on the successful planning and execution of its project, whether in construction, energy, IT, or other sectors. This interdisciplinary program prepares students with the proper tools, cutting-edge research, and knowledge needed to effectively manage complex projects, thus launching or boosting their careers in this critically important phase of companies in a plethora of sectors, and facilitating their participation in this quickly growing job segment.

The program exposes students to a wide range of subjects that are imperative for daily practices in project management. The programs covers project management fundamentals (planning, scheduling, critical path method, project evaluation, critical chain, etc.), project leadership (communication, stakeholder management, stakeholder identification, conflict resolution techniques, etc.), project procurement and quality assurance (procurement planning, make-or-buy, negotiations, contract types, incentives, quality standards, etc.), and loss prevention (e.g. risk management, job safety analysis, protective equipment, environmental hazards).

The programs also covers global project management (the tools and techniques that, when effectively used to manage a set of interdependent projects as a single program, result in improved performance), and equips the students with relevant technical tools, such as data science (handling, visualization, sampling, modeling, etc.) and managerial finance (e.g. risk and return, pricing, capital budgeting, firm valuation, capital structure, payout policy, leasing).
