Introduction

The Master of Project Management (MPM) is an industry-driven graduate programme designed for professionals seeking to establish themselves in the project management field as well as those interested in pursuing new career opportunities. The programme equips students with advanced knowledge and practical skills to solve real-world problems, exercise sound managerial judgment, and make effective, data-driven decisions.

In an increasingly complex and competitive environment, the demand for qualified project managers spans industries such as construction, engineering, ICT, health, education, and development. The MPM at [University Name] addresses this need by producing graduates who can lead projects strategically, manage risks, and deliver sustainable results in both local and global contexts.

Programme Objectives

The objectives of the Master of Project Management (MPM) are to:
– Enable students to develop and communicate project financial and performance objectives.
– Provide students with the skills required to plan project tasks, budgets, and resource requirements accurately.
– 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.

  1.     Complete core, specialization, electives, and thesis with the minimum GPA required. 
  2. Satisfy ethical and research compliance requirements.
