MASTER IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
WHY PMC?

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).
Lectures: Our staff consists of individuals from all over the world who enhance the School with their international contacts, tools, and vision.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
TRAINING PERIOD ON THE FIELD: 3-6 Months reimbursed by Social Change School in Africa, Asia, or Latin America, at a field office of an organisation of the sector, within the year of Master course. About 50% of the students who do the Training Period, continue to work in the host organisation. The amount (until 1500 euros) paid by the School is normally given directly to the NGO partners in charge of organizing and paying for travel, insurance, accommodation.
Students Helpline when you are on the field, supported by Tanja Berretta and Marco Crescenzi.

Be the change! Can you see the Master as a powerful lever for social change? We believe that your professional commitment is fundamental to enhance the quality of NGOs. We believe that you, with your passion and professionalism, can be the change for the lives of thousands of people. We do not consider you as a student, but as a social activist, a rights’ defender, a person interested not only in “doing projects” but in changing systems: a heavily committed “social” professional.

Do you find yourself in this description? Do you feel you can have the right potential to be the change? Book the admission and evaluation interview with Marco Crescenzi or one of our advisers, who directly take care of the selection and admission process for your benefit (for a right choice), the NGOs’ (on your human and professional quality) and of course for the good name of the School – represented by each of its fellows, all over the world.
