Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Project Management may be regarded as a powerful tool to assist in the management of very large projects. The aim of the Project Manager is to bring the project in on time, within budget and to the satisfaction of the client. Topics studied include the role of the Project Manager in initiating, organising, implementing, controlling and terminating the project. Thus, on successful completion of the subject, students should understand the processes involved in setting up, managing and successfully concluding major projects of a one-off high budget type. The fields of study will embrace industrial and commercial project ventures and the course should be suitable for students studying in business studies, and information technology as well as engineering.
