By developing this professional profile, you’ll be able to work in, for example, one of the following roles after graduating:

Project Manager/Programme Manager

In order to ensure that large projects are completed in an efficient manner, a clear roadmap and a strict work process are essential. In today’s business world, where projects can include thousands of different moving parts, the performance of a project manager can determine the success of business initiatives. This role requires the ability to quickly identify the different needs of each department and element involved, how to facilitate between them, and the willingness to push through until solutions are found whenever a problem arises. It’s a demanding position, but it’s also highly rewarding whenever you help a team successfully reach their targets.

SCRUM Master

The SCRUM method of agile project management has become very popular in recent years, and after becoming a common practice in IT and software development companies, it is now a part of many other team projects in a wide range of sectors. As a trained SCRUM master, you’ll lead teams as they apply the rules of SCRUM to facilitate efficient work on different projects. You’ll be the source of information for any questions regarding the theory, rules and methods of SCRUM, while simultaneously offering support, coaching and guidance to individual team members or business units.

IT Project Manager

Bring your project management skills to the information technology sector. As an IT project manager, you’ll take ownership of coordinating and communicating between different departments, stakeholders and external service providers, in order to ensure that project briefs are followed through correctly, goals are achieved and disruptions are kept to a minimum.
