Master of Science in Project Management

Tuition is 42,500 AED per year.

Project management is the discipline concerned with planning, executing and closing out work efficiently, covering how resources, timelines, budgets and people are coordinated to achieve a defined objective. At the graduate level, study in this field typically goes beyond the practical tools of scheduling and budgeting to include the theoretical and strategic dimensions of managing projects, such as organizational behavior in project settings, decision-making under uncertainty, portfolio and program management, and the evaluation of project management methodologies and frameworks. Students often engage with case studies and research examining how projects succeed or fail across different industries and organizational contexts. This Master of Science in Project Management is offered by the British University in Dubai, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with instruction in English. As a master's degree, it is intended for students who typically already hold an undergraduate degree and, often, some exposure to project-based work, and who wish to deepen their expertise through more advanced, research-informed study. Coursework commonly includes risk management, stakeholder engagement, quality assurance, and the application of project management principles to complex, large-scale initiatives spanning construction, technology, engineering or business transformation. Career paths for graduates include senior project management roles, program and portfolio management positions, project management consultancy, and leadership roles within project management offices across a wide range of industries. Because the discipline is applicable wherever organizations undertake defined pieces of work with a beginning and an end, graduates can pursue opportunities in construction and infrastructure, information technology, finance, healthcare and government sectors. Given Dubai's active development and business environment, graduates with advanced project management training are well placed to take on the planning and delivery of complex projects requiring coordination across multiple stakeholders, budgets and timelines within demanding commercial settings.
