European Master's in Project Management (EuroMPM)

Learn Practical Ways to Successfully Manage Cross-Industry Projects — join the international study programme, the European Master's in Project Management (EuroMPM) at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Fachhochschule Dortmund). Held in collaboration with our European partners, the main focus of the EuroMPM Master’s degree programme is on the development of competences in international project management, particularly for the IT and digital transformation areas. The curriculum is based upon international standards that are crucial for modern project management (IPMA, PMI, OGC, ISO, etc.). The technical focus of the EuroMPM course is based on three fundamental pillars: The right toolbox – This involves standards, processes, methods, and tools of project management. The study is not limited to a particular standard (such as ICB, PMBOK, PRINCE2). Rather, the standards are the content of the study. Optimal synergy – This entails team-oriented project work focused on leadership, teamwork, and people. The training is focused on the practical exercise of the management of international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary (3 x "i") teams and scientific examination of the underlying sociological aspects of the management. Sustainability – The focus is on the project environment and the achievement of its objectives. Sustainable project management involves the content of the project as well as its stakeholders, its environment, and their reciprocal interactions. It also involves the scope, time and budget of the project to determine its execution quality.

The second semester focuses on developing essential professional and digital competencies through modules like international communication, digital transformation, and leadership. Students also choose their first elective from a specialised catalogue, allowing them to start shaping their individual academic focus. During the third semester, students deepen their specialisation by selecting further elective modules, which are offered by partner universities within the EuroPIM consortium. At the same time, students begin working on a project thesis that can either be conducted at the university or completed as part of an internship in collaboration with a company. The programme concludes in the fourth semester with the submission of a Master’s thesis, representing the final academic milestone.
