Project Management, Finance and Risk

Advertisement

The MSc Project Management, Finance and Risk offers training in modern techniques for managing and engineering the uncertainties and risk inherent in projects and designing appropriate financial instruments and tools to optimise the performance throughout the life cycle.

Career Prospects
The course will prepare you for a wide range of careers involving project management and financial planning. It is particularly suited to those planning to work in infrastructure management and development.

Capital goods manufacturers are changing into the providers of services selling the function of the capital item rather than the item itself. This change demands new ways based on financial engineering and risk analysis to price, manage and service the resulting contracts. Capital projects are also evaluated on the basis of life cycle cost and revenue streams in an uncertain environment.

This course provides a basis in risk and decision making under uncertainty, classical engineering economics and financial engineering for those pursuing a career or planning a career in capital goods or project management. In addition the course offers practical skills in software and communications tools.
The course is modular and each module lasts four days. The structure is designed to allow both full and part-time students to follow the course.

Modules include:

* Managing risk and uncertainty
* Optimisation and decision making
* Lifecycle engineering
* Financial engineering and project planning
