MSc Project Management from Lisbon, Portugal

Build your next chapter without leaving the life you have built in Lisbon. The MSc Project Management, delivered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, offers a flexible way to develop project management knowledge you can apply across industries and borders.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Salford. It is a credential recognised internationally, giving you a way to demonstrate your achievement whether your ambitions take you across Lisbon, elsewhere in Portugal or further afield.

Alongside the qualification, you can develop a broader understanding of how projects are planned, led and delivered. The programme’s theory offers a foundation for thinking about challenges in international settings.

Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year

You do not need to relocate or commute to campus to pursue this degree. The programme can be completed entirely online, making it possible to study while continuing your life and work in Lisbon.

If you are ready to move quickly, completion is possible in as little as one year. That can make postgraduate study feel like a near-term step towards your goals, rather than something you must put off for years.

Study without scheduled online attendance

There is no requirement to be online at specific times and dates. You can engage with your studies at hours that fit around your work, family commitments and other priorities.

Whether your best thinking happens before the city wakes or after a busy day, this flexibility lets you shape a study routine around your own schedule.

Take your studies wherever you go

Living in Lisbon does not mean every study session has to happen at home. You can study from anywhere in the world, including while travelling or on the move.

The mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. Prepare for your next assignment during a journey, or keep learning when a reliable internet connection is not available.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can draw on learning materials as you develop and present your work.

This approach gives you space to engage thoughtfully with ideas, consider different perspectives and explain how you would apply what you have learned.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

Study with tutors and faculty whose academic backgrounds include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their varied educational experiences can bring different perspectives to your learning, helping you look beyond a single way of approaching project management challenges.

Connect with a global learning community

Join a diverse student base spanning more than 130 countries. Studying alongside people with different professional and cultural experiences can broaden the conversations you have and the perspectives you consider.

Alumni work for international organisations including Google, Microsoft, DHL, Dell, ICBC Bank, HSBC, Santander, Westpac, Accenture, Disney, the United Nations, ICRC, The World Bank, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This gives you the option to spread the cost across a predictable schedule.

With a payment plan you can account for month by month, you can focus on making room for postgraduate study in your plans while living and working in Lisbon.

Put your learning to work from Lisbon

Lisbon’s technology and startup community creates opportunities to think about projects involving new products, growing teams and organisational change. Project management knowledge can help you approach this work with greater clarity, from defining goals to coordinating people and resources.

In a city shaped by tourism and hospitality, professionals may encounter projects such as service improvements, digital initiatives and new customer experiences. The ability to plan, communicate and manage competing priorities can be valuable when many stakeholders need to work together.

Lisbon’s connections to transport, maritime activity and wider Portuguese sustainability initiatives also offer settings in which project skills can matter. Whether your interests lie in logistics, infrastructure or the energy transition, the programme’s internationally applicable theory can help you develop a framework for contributing to complex work.
