The Management School’s Project Management MSc programme has been successfully awarded Academic Accreditation by the Association for Project Management (APM).

This recognition, which follows the online programme’s award in October 2023, confirms that it meets the high standards of the profession's chartered organisation and underlines our ongoing commitment to learners' experiences and continuous improvement.

The panel noted how the University is leading in the advancement of Artificial Intelligence and acknowledged how it is incorporated throughout the MSc Project Management course.

Another asset noted by the panel was the use of role play in groups in the programme’s Business Simulation and Analysis and Service Operations Management modules which allows students to develop an integrated understanding of managing projects.

Dr Laura Menzies, the outgoing Director of Studies and the newly appointed Director of Studies, Dr Jennifer Davies said of the achievement:

"We are thrilled that our on-campus MSc Project Management programme now joins our online programme in receiving this prestigious accreditation from APM. It is a significant achievement for our dedicated teaching team from the Operations and Supply Chain Management group who are committed to delivering a holistic programme, infused with the latest insights from research and industry. We are particularly pleased that APM commended our introduction of the impact of Artificial Intelligence on Project Management during the course, underscoring our team's dedication to preparing students for success in the competitive job market."
