Career
Programme management takes project management to the next level and is often a natural progression for experienced project managers. Whereas projects deliver outputs and discrete parcels of change, programmes focus on the coordination of multiple related projects. They are more strategic, more focused on managing organisational growth and change and have a defined value proposition.
If you are looking to accelerate your career, possessing the industry-recognised MSP® Practitioner certification will demonstrate your proficiency to successfully deliver transformation change. MSP® certification helps you stand out to prospective employers, giving them confidence you can carry out the coordinated organisation, direct and implement a dossier of projects while maintaining performance and effectiveness. MSP® is applicable across numerous industries and can be tailored to local situations.
Programme Structure
Course structure:
The MSP® Practitioner course follows on from the Foundation course, where we introduced the method, its philosophy and its terminology. It focuses on the more intricate aspects of the method. Based on a case study, the method is put into practice through a series of challenging questions that mirror the questions of the exam.
The course consists of a series of classroom (or online) lectures and group exercises. The lectures introduce the method’s terminology, then we will discuss case studies to explain how to use the method in practice. We will provide supplementary learning material via the University’s online learning platform.
The exam has the following format:
- Multiple-choice questions
- 58 questions per paper (including 6 matching questions worth 3 marks each), 70 marks available in total
- 42 marks required to pass (out of 70) - 60%
- Two-and-a-half hours’ duration
- Open book exam.
