Project Management (NQF Level 8)
Within the context of internationalisation,
21st century organisations have developed
a completely new way of doing business
that has overturned the rigid, hierarchical
and divided system of labour in years past.
This new model hinges on projects: distinct
activities grouped together with the aim of
attaining a specified goal whether its a
new software package, a marketing strategy
or a new brand of toothpaste. Initiating,
planning, executing, and evaluating every
project requires specialised knowledge and
expert project management skills. A project
management expert can quickly adapt,
organise and troubleshoot, meaning that
he or she adds tremendous value to any
organisation.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Project
Management is a one-year specialised
programme that enables students to develop
an advanced understanding of concepts,
approaches and tools relevant to the field of
project management. Project management
impacts directly on the growth and
advancement of most modern organisations
and is a much-sought-after qualification
both as an area of specialisation and as a
complimentary qualification to any career.
The programme enhances the capacity of
managers to improve production and service
delivery thereby contributing to organisational
effectiveness. The programme also provides
for the attainment of quantitative skills in
project finance and project management.
