As a part-time student you'll typically study for twice as long as full-time students. For example if the MSc/MA course takes one year, you can expect to study over two years, though for some courses this may vary.
On this course, you'll explore project management in a range of contexts, including long-run public sector infrastructure projects and short-to-medium-term projects in private sector businesses, public sector organisations and not-for-profit organisations.
