Major programmes are more than just big projects; they may have budgets that run into billions of pounds, they may last five years or more from concept to completion, and they are likely to see a turnover of project and management staff during their life cycle. The skills and competencies of project management are a prerequisite for managing these programmes, but they are not sufficient. An extra set of skills is required that is distinct from the traditional practices of project management.
The Oxford MSc in Major Programme Management is a part-time two-year modular programme designed to equip project and programme managers, from both public and private sectors, with the skills necessary to reach the highest level of their careers in programme management, while delivering real value to sponsoring organisations. Delivered in an efficient modular structure, you can follow the programme without significant interruption to your working life and still enjoy the lasting benefits of the Oxford experience.
