Is it right for me?

You are an ideal candidate if you:

have a background in any discipline and are willing to develop a systematic understanding of knowledge in project management areas, acquiring the mindset, approaches, tools and techniques which enable you to manage projects of different sizes, in different countries and sectors.

Please note that we’ve designed this program for recent graduates with ideally no more than 3 years of work experience. If you have more experience, you might also like to take a look at our International MBA programs.

Why choose this master?

The International Master in Project Management is unique for the following reasons:

A programme that responds to market demand: According to PMI’s most recent Talent Gap report, 2.3 million people will be needed each year to fill all of the project management-oriented positions expected to be added by 2030. To remain competitive, companies will need to focus on hiring problem solvers and relationship builders who can help them drive change and deliver strategic value. Through the Master, you'll build up your skillset within strategic and project management realms and fine-tune your behavioural skills to enhance your leadership abilities and boost your career opportunities.

A real international journey: you’ll spend the first term at POLIMI GSoM in Italy and the second at Strathclyde Business School in Scotland and decide where to conduct your final project; this is a unique opportunity to experience in depth the ways of living and working of two European countries, gaining insights into their cultural mindset, methods, and approaches, to thrive as a Project Manager in different and dynamic environments.
