Bachelor in Project Manager Degree Apprenticeship BSc

Tuition fees are 23,200 GBP per year.

This degree apprenticeship is designed for professionals looking to bridge the gap between academic theory and high-level project management practice. Delivered through a blended learning model, the programme allows you to remain in full-time employment while completing your degree, ensuring that every module translates directly into workplace impact. Whether you are managing small-scale operational tasks or leading complex, multi-functional projects, this course provides the technical and human-centric skills required to thrive in sectors ranging from IT and engineering to healthcare and transport.

You will engage with a diverse curriculum that covers everything from financial management and marketing to advanced project governance and quality assurance. A distinctive feature of the programme is the integration of academic study with your professional life; you will have monthly one-to-one sessions with an academic supervisor to help you apply new concepts to your current role. The learning experience is supported by a virtual learning environment (Blackboard) and enriched by bi-monthly webinars, complemented by two-day in-person sessions on the Birmingham campus once per term to foster networking and professional development.

Integrated Professional Development

The programme culminates in a final, work-based project that serves as your end-point assessment, demonstrating your ability to lead, influence, and deliver strategic value for your employer. By the end of the three-year journey, you will have not only earned a BSc (Hons) in Project Management but also solidified your expertise through years of practical, industry-tested experience.
