A key organisational challenge is to bring about beneficial change. Change for some organisations is in itself not enough and only transformation will do. Effective leadership of such processes is clearly of vital importance. The purpose of this module is to challenge managers and aspiring managers to consider the practical issues associated with effective change leadership from a range of different conceptual perspectives and so be better equipped within the work place.

The aim of the module is to provide a comprehensive introduction to project management, and the general principles that all MSc students need to understand. This includes the project lifecycle, benefits realisation, risk identification, tools and techniques common to project managers. The concepts can be applied to all project management situations.

This Post Graduate Certificate will appeal to students who are looking to advance their knowledge in Programme and Project Management. The topics are practical, with an emphasis on the application of the knowledge gained and applied to many learning situations, including the use of case studies, live round-table debate, team-working exercises, applied coursework, blended learning environments, and independent study. Students will be encouraged to gain knowledge in their specific field through extensive reading, and to use this material in a targeted way. Students will have support within lecture contact time and dedicated workshops, small working groups, and personal tutors to develop the student to help gain a higher level of achievement. Upon successful completion of the course, progression to the full MSc in Programme and Project Management is available.

You will also have the benefit of relevant experience of staff in a range of Project and Programme Management disciplines. We have a nationally and internationally recognised staff profile in the project management discipline and a team of experienced project managers from a variety of project management disciplines who will deliver the programme.
