My choice

Studying at MSPME was one the greatest opportunities of my life and to date, one of my biggest achievements. Coming from Kosovo, a country that underwent conflict and is in process of development, studying at MSPME was an exceptional and unique experience. This remarkable and well-designed programme that goes in depth of Project Management and Strategy, gives the latest up to date information and real life scenarios of the topic, making it widely applicable. MSPME programme takes Strategic Project Management to another level, placing the subject into other perspectives, different from classic Project Management.

Strategy is key to the way forward of many organizations, often depending on harmonizing and creating relationships between many projects at the same time. Currently in my job as a National Programme Officer working for democracy in my country, the tools and techniques learnt at MSPME make my daily work at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) much easier.

Last but not least, it was an honor to learn from the brilliant lecturers and bright classmates from all around the globe in great facilities and beautiful countries such as Scotland, Italy and Sweden.

Main takeaways from the Master

  • Professional knowledge and tools apply to my everyday work.
  • The unique living experience and great network of friends and professionals is of a great value and often very useful.
