Description/content

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 – 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 – 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 – 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.

Study abroad

EuroMPM students have the opportunity to study block courses or an entire semester abroad at our partner universities:
