The Diploma In Programme and Project ManagementThe Diploma in Programme and Project Management has been developed in response to the increasing recognition of project management as a generic management discipline and the desire of Humanitarian project managers to achieve chartered manager status. The qualification has been developed in conjunction with international and domestic experts and practitioners in emergency/humanitarian management and enables students to use their own country or another country of their choice as a case study for many of the topic areas, ensuring a truly global perspective in contemporary emergency/humanitarian project management. It focuses on the development of a clear understanding of the disciplines and methodologies underpinning successful programme and project management and their practical application. The qualification provides a foundation for continuing professional and personal development in programme and project management. Candidates for the Diploma in Programme and Project Management have to complete all EIGHT core units and the Integrative Assessment and EITHER the two additional units for Programme Management OR the two additional units for Project Management.
