- Project manager – leading cross-functional projects from initiation through delivery
- Operations manager – overseeing business operations and process improvement programmes
- Business development manager – managing growth initiatives, partnerships, and commercial projects
- Programme manager – coordinating multiple related projects to achieve strategic objectives
- Change management consultant – guiding organisations through transformation programmes

The dual-expertise advantage
Professionals who combine business management skills with project management expertise are well positioned for progression into senior operational and strategic roles. The ability to deliver complex projects while understanding their business context is one of the most transferable and valued skill combinations in the current job market.
Why choose this programme
Business and project management combined
You graduate with a comprehensive business management foundation – strategy, leadership, finance, and supply chain – alongside dedicated project management modules covering strategic project management, agile methodology, and contemporary issues. This dual expertise positions you for roles where business strategy meets programme delivery.
A university of London degree
The University of Roehampton is based in London, home to major consultancies, technology companies, and infrastructure organisations where project management capabilities are in constant demand. Your MSc carries the credibility of a London university.
Traditional and agile coverage
The programme covers both traditional and agile project management approaches, preparing you to work in organisations that use waterfall, agile, or hybrid methodologies. This breadth is increasingly important as most organisations adopt some form of agile practice.
Flexible for working professionals
Four intakes per year (January, March, June, September), fully online delivery, and the choice of full-time or part-time study mean you can develop a dual business-and-project-management qualification without stepping away from your career.
From projects to strategy
Many project managers reach a ceiling because they lack broader business skills. This programme ensures you understand finance, strategy, supply chain, and leadership – the capabilities needed to move from managing individual projects to shaping organisational direction.
