MSc in Major Programme Management and associated Research Network

Newcastle University has led the way in developing this highly specialised MSc in Major Programme Management and associated Research Network.

We have a world beating track record in this discipline, which is second to none! The EDC forms the core of this centre of excellence.

The course was developed with support from Thales UK plc.

The course offers a unique combination of elements to create a centre of excellence that aims to increase the national supply of the skills needed to manage large and very demanding projects.
