Master's Degree in Business Management and Engineering Project Management
English
Credits: 60 ECTS
PRESENTATION
This master’s degree focuses on how business and project management are applied to both the engineering and construction sectors, as well as their intrinsic managerial characteristics. According to a 2020 McKinsey study, the infrastructure sector makes the largest contribution to global GDP. The need for new infrastructure, the adaptation of existing infrastructure to new technologies and the needs of the population, and the rehabilitation and maintenance of existing infrastructure is constantly increasing. In fact, this sector—and its unique characteristics—sets companies apart from those in other sectors; consequently, the demand for professionals with a broad management perspective, business management knowledge, and the skills needed for infrastructure development is enormous and will continue to grow in the future.
Objectives
Gain a comprehensive understanding of business to facilitate a thorough and comprehensive decision-making process, which may lead to the development of skills that enable the application of essential managerial abilities in a decisive and well-communicated manner.
Methodology
At Educa PHAROS, we use a highly practical methodology focused on the direct application of knowledge in the student’s professional environment, combining theoretical content with real-world cases, digital tools, and support from a team of specialized instructors.
