– Prepare students to monitor, control effectively, and report on project costs, schedules, and quality/performance levels needed to meet milestones.
– Equip students with leadership skills to foster positive team environments, motivate members, and resolve conflicts.
Exam Regulations
Assessment emphasizes both continuous learning and summative evaluation. Typical components and indicative weight ranges include participation (5–10%), assignments (15–20%), group projects/presentations (15–25%), case analyses (10–15%), and final examinations (20–30%). The capstone/research component is assessed independently (100% of its 6 credits). Many course outlines specify that students must pass both midterm/continuous assessment and the final exam to pass the course (commonly 60% coursework, 40% final). Progression follows successful completion of semester requirements and maintenance of satisfactory standing per university policy.

- Complete core, specialization, electives, and thesis with the minimum GPA required.
