Máster en Dirección de Proyectos (PMC)

Why PMC?

1. Ready for the field? Social Change School and some big international NGOs gave life to PMC in 1998 in order to address the lack of an international management training programmes (also national, this master has been the first in Italy and Europe).
2. Lectures: Our staff consists of individuals from all over the world who enhance the School with their international contacts, tools, and vision.
3. Certifications: Sphere Standards, PMD – Project Management for Development Professionals, HRG-Hardiness Resilience Gouge. Social Change School is among the first institutions in the world to be recognized as HPass Learning Provider.
4. Full employment: 90% of employment in the Non Profit by the end of the Master; 50% after 6 months. PMC has the objective to respond to the need of the sector by offering concrete job prospects in the rapidly growing market of humanitarian emergencies.
5. Internationality: PMC is an International Programme, with European (and not only European) lecturers and students, that unites quality, accessibility (affordable cost + scholarships) and flexibility (thanks to the eLearning + workshops formula, that makes it easier to attend).
6. Experience, History and Worldwide Network of the School: in a historical moment that sees humanitarian emergency become the new training business, the School provides its experience, contacts, relations, international community and the helpfulness of hundreds of fellows around the world.
7. Management Development Accelerator: if you were sitting on a table to negotiate your project with the rebel force, what would you say and how would you do it? Are you able to pitch with a Company, or present the project to a Foundation? The managerial development feature "secures" you, allowing you to have basic skills in Conflict Management, Negotiation, Stress Management, Assertiveness, Public Speaking, Time and Organization Management.
