About Project Management, MSc, PG Cert, PG Dip - at University of Liverpool Online Programmes

Learn both the theoretical fundamentals of Project Management as well as develop the critical skills for a successful career in Project Management.

Developed by leading academics in the University of Liverpool’s AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS accredited Management School, this programme has been designed to equip you with the right tools and technologies to support decision-making and ensure timely delivery of project objectives. You will reflect on the principles and methodologies of the leading professional Project Management bodies, such as the Association for Project Management (APM) and the Project Management Institute (PMI).

The programme is accredited by the Association for Project Management (APM). The APM is the only chartered membership organisation for the project profession in the world. APM’s Academic Accreditation identifies courses and modules that meet its rigorous criteria for course content, quality and standards.

The programme is designed to facilitate the development of technical competence in areas including risk management, monitoring and control of projects, and procurement, as well as a core understanding of operations management principles, which can plague project delivery. Learning will be action and practice-focused, with students testing out theory and knowledge within their own current or previous organisational contexts and experience and seeking out actionable knowledge in response to current problems they face.

You will be equipped with the appropriate knowledge and expertise to pursue qualifications, such as PMQ (APM), PPQ (APM), PMP (PMI), CAPM (PMI) for those with some Project Management experience, or PFQ (APM) for those just starting out.
