The Master’s in Contract Management and Major International Projects is an advanced specialization designed for professionals seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in executing initiatives on a global scale. This program strategically integrates project management with international contract management, offering you a comprehensive perspective on the entire lifecycle of any large-scale initiative. You will cover everything from launch and detailed planning to procurement management and the key aspects of turnkey (EPC) projects, as detailed in Module 2. You will learn to accurately interpret project financial statements, ensuring their economic viability and effectively communicating results to all stakeholders, from shareholders to the operations team. You will develop a critical ability to read and manage contracts, focusing on the most important and relevant clauses for their execution. In addition, you will conduct an in-depth analysis of sustainability criteria in EPC projects and their practical application, ensuring that your initiatives are not only profitable but also environmentally and socially responsible. This comprehensive approach prepares you to lead with competence and strategic vision in the complex environment of large international projects, effectively managing the triple constraint of scope, cost, and schedule, and strengthening your ability to make strategic decisions.
Objectives
