Master in Project Management

This programme is designed to complement the content of the thematic blocks with the necessary training to achieve their internalisation.

Professional Development Programme (PDP)
Three weeks before the beginning of the academic year, students will have the chance to attend to a professional development program where they will work, hand-in-hand with a teacher, the development of different skills such as time management, productivity, stress management and emotional intelligence. If the student ends the PDP, developing all the activities, he will obtain a completion certification.

The main objective is to carry out a project that allows students to apply the groups of learned processes throughout the program, and at the same time achieving a specialization in the management of a specific project. It focuses on applying best practices from different industries, understanding its benefits and exercising management skills that every Project Manager should have. 

The longlife learning master's degree in Project Management is complemented with lectures, bootcamps and seminars which will be held in each of the blocks. These additional activities are performed by renowned professionals in the project management field who, through videoconferencing, will introduce students to their experiences and case studies.

Bootcamp: Project management simulation: SimulTrain (STS)
SimulTrain is a project management simulation tool developed by STS that provides simulation of calls, reception of emails and voice messages to create a realistic project management environment, through which attendees to the bootcamp can implement fundamental procedures, tools, and techniques of project management learned throughout the Master. This bootcamp is organized by teams and allows to 'simulate' the role of Project Manager through the planning and management of the execution of a fictitious project, facing the most relevant events that occur in the real life of the management of a project: the customer requests some changes in the scope, difficulty in obtaining the necessary resources, technical difficulties during the development of the product, etc.
Lecturer: Marisa Andrea Lostumbo Giraldo, Project Management Consultant and Trainer at GoFlow.

Company visits
During the program students will have the opportunity to assist in streaming to different web conferences with experts in different areas, related with the program. These professionals will share their knowledge and experience and will provide students with the best practices in the field.

Webinars
Most of the training is done asynchronously; it means that the exchange of knowledge is done through a software platform that allows sharing written texts without having people to be connected at the same time. Additionally, in each of the subjects’ synchronous sessions or 'webinars' are organized, in sessions in which all participants are connected at the same time through a program allowing the exchange of knowledge in 'real time'.

'Case studies'
The practical component of the program is essential and complements the theoretical training. Therefore, during the course discussions are held on topics of current or particular interest in each of the subjects, simulations of decision-making applied to real situations or to resolve practical cases where problems and their proposed solutions are analysed from an academic point of view, as well as the criteria taken into account to carry them out.
