Master of Science - Project Management

The MSc Project Management provides graduates with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to become competent Project Managers, a growing area of importance throughout business, industry and government today. While many project management programmes seek to train students on a single framework of project management, our degree offers the opportunity to understand a broad range of different frameworks and to relate these to different industry sectors.

Students will explore complex project management issues and address challenges with advanced skills to meet the growing demand from multi-sector organisations seeking project management professionals. The course enables students to develop their learning on the importance of entrepreneurship, innovation, and the appreciation of core values of ethical and sustainable enterprises in global economies. Royal Holloway also embraces the strategic focus on developing multi and intra disciplinary characteristics of modern project and programme-based environments.

The changing landscape and demand for global project managers is growing and will continue to grow. The Project Management masters opens the possibilities of multiple routes of employment, re-deployment and advancing existing employment opportunities.

Graduates of this programme enter a wide-variety of industries, professions, government, where demand for employees with project management expertise and capabilities to address the complex and changing organisations is high. 

Students will enjoy studying at the well-equipped central London campus and work with supportive academic staff to realise their full potential. 

The Masters in Project Management has continued to expand since opening in 2013, recognising that international industries, firms, organisations and governments are demanding exceptional candidates who have the knowledge base and practical skills to finance, manage and execute processes and projects successfully. It’s Royal Holloway's ethos to combine academic excellence with industry related knowledge and expertise.
