Master of Project Management Programme Information Session

With the high-speed development of the economy, the market has put forward higher and higher requirements for the management of enterprises or projects. The improvement of project management level not only helps to facilitate the internal operation efficiency and economic efficiency, but also contributes to the establishment of corporate image.

 

As a project manager who is directly responsible to the senior management of the company, how would you efficiently plan and master projects of different scope and complexity at a highly competitive global market? And how could you use the systematic viewpoints, methods and theories to effectively manage all the work involved in the project under the constraints of limited resources?

 

Dr. Paul W Chan, the Course Director of Project Management Programme at the University of Manchester, will visit the University of Manchester China Center on 14th January to give you a wonderful PM information session. Dr. Paul will interpret the special features of Project Management MSc Distance Learning Programme, and explore in depth about how PMDL could equip you with crucial management skills that ultimately facilitate your company growth to meet strategic goals. Special distinguished guests Mr. Matthew Knowles (Area Director of British Council) and Ms. Sherry Fu (Director of the University of Manchester China Centre) are invited to deliver a welcome speech. And Dr. Ian William Hutt (Head of Distance Learning Operations of Manchester University) is also invited to join the event!

Project Management Distance Learning Programme (PMDL) is an industry inspired programme that uses a Practice Based Learning approach to project management development. The programme is delivered through a fully distance-learning approach. The PMDL differs from other courses in that, rather than simply acquiring new knowledge and ideas, delegates are expected to adpot a reflective practice approach so that their learning can inform and be informed by their practises of managing projects in the workplace. The programme acts as a Community of Practice for delegates to network and communicate with their peers so that they can share experiences and practices across a wide array of organisations and project environments.
