The double accredited postgraduate degree in project management delivered at our Berlin campus gives you the hands-on strategic and leadership skills needed to forge a career in the dynamic field of project management.
Study your master’s in project management in Germany and develop an appreciation of how to lead projects to success using the latest project management skills, theories, and techniques. This course will teach you how to use organisational initiative to fulfil a range of projects across diverse, international industries.
Our master’s in project management will bring you up-to-speed with the latest project management practices, trends, and developments. For example, the recent Covid-19 pandemic has shown us the importance of project management in finding solutions to unprecedented challenges. In fact, project management skills are vital in fields including engineering, technology, education, healthcare, events management, as well as tourism and many more creative and service fields. Because of this, your degree qualification will have wide reaching employer-appeal and is your ticket to a highly rewarding career.
We’ve also partnered with the Project Management Institute (PMI) Germany Chapter to ensure you can get the most out of your degree. You’ll have access to a number of valuable resources, including monthly local networking events and the PMI Germany job board, to name a few.
Our MSc Project Management course will provide you with the knowledge and confidence required to execute large scale, global projects.
Accredited by the Association for Project Management and by Chartered Management Institute, this degree gives you the opportunity to become a forward-thinking project manager who understands the importance of data metrics in project analysis and future planning. Each module of the course is informed by our lecturers’ professional expertise, helping you to become better equipped to lead and manage high-level projects.
I have enjoyed doing my master’s here because it’s not like a traditional university where you sit in a classroom and a lecturer talks and you write down everything. I like that when we come here there’s actually a discussion and we do a lot of analysis.

The way we assess our students provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your strengths in a number of ways. That’s why we choose a range of methods to keep track of how well you are progressing. These include:
This course is available to study through Arden’s blended learning study mode at our campus in Berlin, Germany
The course is also available to students via online learning.
I learn better face-to-face, so blended learning gives me an opportunity to do both face-to-face learning and independent online study. This is better for me because I need time for my daughter as well as my studies, so now I have time for both.
How does it work?
When you choose our blended learning study mode, you’ll have eight hours of timetabled classes spread over two days at our centrally located Berlin campus. This is combined with around 25 hours of independent study, which takes place through ilearn, our online learning platform and university campus in the cloud. ilearn contains all the resources you need to study your degree successfully when you’re away from campus. You’ll also have access to our Library Portal, an extensive digital library with thousands of journal titles, eBooks, and a range of academic and industry databases that you can use to research and gain in-depth information on your area of study. At Arden, all of your course materials are provided free of charge, removing the need for you to buy expensive textbooks to study your degree successfully.
Full time study in Berlin is the best option for students who prefer the structure of regular face to face classes with their tutor and fellow classmates, and is particularly suited to students who are attracted by the opportunity to move to Germany to study, where you can take advantage of the employment opportunities available for overseas students.
