Study Details: MSc / Diploma: 1 year (full-time) / 2 years (part-time)
Strategic Project Management at Heriot- Watt University differentiates itself from other project management programmes by putting a greater emphasis on the strategic requirement in managing a portfolio of projects to deliver organisational goals.
In this way, Strategic Project Management encompasses both project management as a process to deliver end products and change management as a process to capture the rational and emotional buy-in of the people affected by change to ensure its success. A postgraduate qualification in Strategic Project Management can benefit individuals in business, engineering, IT or science whose job involves managing or directing work that has a strategic focus and a defined end goal.
This programme reflects the content of the Project Management Institute’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge and the Association for Project Management’s APM Body of Knowledge.
