Hello guys,

I need your honest opinion about going to study for an Msc in Proj. Mgt.

I applied for a different course, but the school is offering me Msc in Proj. Mgt after viewing my CV.

What do you think? Is it a waste of time and resources when you can get a Prince 2 Cert. in one week?

My other option is Msc in management.

Thanks

Hello, what is your first degree in and what is nature of your work experience. this will enable us advise you better.

If i have to advise without having the above needed info, i would suggest you do an MSC in something else and then get a Prince 2 certification ( not the two week type but the full one).

From my line of work i have seen that people prefer persons with specific qualifications e.g engineering, architecture, etc with a PM certification to back it up.

M.Sc in Project Management is an absolute waste of resources! PRINCE2 and PMP have more value. An M.Sc in Engineering Design + PRINCE2/PMP might be more useful in your current career track (assuming you'll like to stay in the same)/ If you must choose (I don't believe you have to choose since its your money and you need to get good value for it) between M.Sc in Management and M.Sc in Project Management, M.Sc in Management will be preferred. On a final note if one school can't offer you what you want, you need to look for one that will.
