Overview

Planning and implementing projects, owning all aspects from the makeup of the team to the processes and their results. This requires technical, sociological and psychological knowledge, which IU's M.A. Project Management offers in equal measures. The 120-ECTS course is perfect for students who already have a degree in economics or engineering. Over the length of the course, students learn established methods as well as hone their soft skills which are vital to lead teams and communicate complex ideas.
