Entry requirements
Applicants to the MSc in Project Management will normally need to have:
- a good honours degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised university
- demonstrable English language competence where their first language is not English
Academic qualifications
You will normally need a minimum of a 2:1 honours degree or equivalent (a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4-point scale or B/B+ on a literal scale).
As this is a conversion course, your first degree does not need to be in any particular subject. However, to cope with the demands of the programme, you will need to demonstrate a reasonably good level of numeracy. The programme is particularly attractive to those who have studied subjects such as engineering, IT, business or management, although students also come from a variety of arts and social science backgrounds.
If you have relevant professional work experience but no first degree, you may be invited to interview (personal or telephone as appropriate) with the Programme Director or set a written test to assess your suitability.
English language proficiency
If your first language is not English and you have not previously studied in English at university level, you will need to provide evidence of your English language ability, normally via an IELTS or TOEFL score. The standard entry requirements for the programme are either:
- a balanced IELTS score of 7.0 or above, or
- an TOEFL iBT score of at 100 (*UKBA requirements include minimum scores in the TOEFL test.)
Work experience
Work experience is not required for this programme, although it is extremely valuable. It is also helpful – though not essential – if you have some experience of project work, acquired either through degree study, professional work or other projects undertaken in your social life.
