The European Master's in Project Management (EuroMPM) is an international Master's programme with 120 ECTS credits and has restricted admission with limited seats. The curriculum is structured across four semesters as follows:
In the first semester, students build a strong foundation with core modules such as project management basics, quality management & standards, and soft skills.
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.
