Course content

During each three-week session, you will take on intensive module. These modules will be worth 20 UK credits. In addition to your in-class sessions, most modules will incorporate field trips, offering you the chance to explore areas of London relevant to your studies.

You will live and learn on our beautiful parkland campus and have access to all the University's support services as well as a dedicated study abroad team.

Organisations have been subjected to an unprecedented pace of change over the last three decades, resulting in a shift in the way they do business and a growth in managing projects at a global level. Drawing from London's rich portfolio of successful projects and events, this module explores how transformation is achieved through effective project management. Students will benefit from integrated site visits with the London Sports Hub module, including the London Olympic Park and Wimbledon grounds, providing first-hand exposure to world-class project and event management in action. Project Management is a crucial organisational activity concerned with the planning and management of resources (labour and materials) in such a way that collectively the resources deliver the required project outcome within defined quality, time and cost constraints. This module will enable you to systematically review and evaluate the concepts of project management and have an awareness of the key factors involved in successful project management; assess the role and skill-set required by a project manager and apply this learning to your own career ambitions; explore the concepts and techniques of project management in a variety of London-based project scenarios and analyse their relationship to personal and organisational issues.
