The MTech is a more advanced degree, and equips students with the skills required to manage more complex projects, or to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Masters Degrees:

Many universities, in South Africa and abroad, offer Masters Degree Programmes in project management. However, the degrees that they offer are usually either MSc or MEng degrees, where the focus is on project management within the built environment.

In order to meet the admission requirements for one of these degree programmes, you will usually need to have a bachelor’s degree in a related field. Many universities also request that you have some previous practical work experience.

The MSc and MEng degrees in project management usually have an in-depth focus on the aspects that are most relevant to project management within the built environment. These degrees often also cover the relevant legal aspects – particularly labour law and contract law. There is also a research component that must be completed.
