6 Courses Required

Manage projects successfully from initiating to planning, executing, controlling, and closing processes. Learn to employ standardized practices to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of an applied project.

The Program

This allows you to create a project that focuses on what is relevant for your own field or industry. You also complete individual assignments, ensuring you gain experience with all of the skills required.

Program Format

This program is offered three times per year: September to December, January to Mid April, Mid April to Mid July.
