Master of Sciences ‘MSc’ in Engineering Management & Entrepreneurship (EME)Program Description

The program aspires to produce graduates who are not only technically skilled but also have the capacity for original and creative thought, which will result in the creation of fresh methods and solutions in the practice of project engineering. By bridging the gap between traditional project management concepts and an entrepreneurial mindset, the curriculum aims to empower students to recognise and grasp opportunities, take calculated risks, and provide value via efficient project implementation. The master's program in Project Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship aims to give students a thorough education by fusing the fundamentals of academic research and entrepreneurship with the concepts of project engineering. The program seeks to provide students with the information and instruments needed to do research on managing complicated projects and promoting innovation. This is accomplished through a curriculum that combines academic understanding with creative thinking. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on teamwork, flexibility, and clear communication, equipping students to manage varied teams and deal with the risks and ambiguities that come with project management.
