Study Details: MSc modular full-time and part-time
The MSc Project Management, Finance and Risk offers training in modern techniques for managing and engineering the uncertainties and risk inherent in projects and designing appropriate financial instruments and tools to optimise the performance throughout the life cycle.
Capital goods manufacturers are changing into the providers of services selling the function of the capital item rather than the item itself. This change demands new ways based on financial engineering and risk analysis to price, manage and service the resulting contracts. Capital projects are also evaluated on the basis of life cycle cost and revenue streams in an uncertain environment.
Applicants should normally hold a good Honours degree in a subject with suitable mathematical content, such as engineering or physics. However, we are always willing to talk to potential students with other qualifications.
Students who have previously studied a degree taught in a language other than English will be required to have one of the following qualifications:
Full-time EU: £12,000 (2013/14 fees); Part-time EU: £6,000 (per year) (2013/14 fees).Full-time Non EU: £15,000 (2013/14 fees); Part-time Non EU: £7,500 (per year) (2013/14 fees)
The course will prepare you for a wide range of careers involving project management and financial planning. It is particularly suited to those planning to work in infrastructure management and development.
This course provides a basis in risk and decision making under uncertainty, classical engineering economics and financial engineering for those pursuing a career or planning a career in capital goods or project management. In addition the course offers practical skills in software and communications tools.
