Project management
I am Mohamed Salim K, recently completed by degree on Chemical engineering. The
principle reason that motivated me to pursue the MSc Project Management course is the
appeal and challenge Project Managers experience in delivering assignments they
undertake in their career. The qualification, indeed, lead to very smart and modern careers
for graduates who love challenges, creativity, leadership and success. As a graduate of
Science, I have cultivated these features in my student life. Now, for my master level of
study, I would like to take my chance of attaining formal skills in the area of project
management.
Studying at master level for course like project management that offers a skill-set would
enhance my current academic level with advanced and newer knowledge, skills and
professional discourses. From the study, I will learn to solve complex problems and make
decisions using appropriate techniques, and to provide realistic contexts and situations in
relation to project management in which to apply and modify concepts and principles to
solve problems. I will be equipped to critically evaluate information and develop my sense
of inquiry, analysis and application of data; understand a wide range of specific
management practices and techniques, together with their application to the management
of projects.
Additionally, this MSc will equip me with a mix of analytical and problem-solving
business-related Skills with a very strong emphasis on relevant international challenges
and issues. I will not only gain new perspectives and ways of addressing projects, I will
also develop other important soft skills which will enhance my value to employers – for
example, presentation and report-writing skills, negotiation skills, team-work and
leadership skills in research design and analysis, ability to maintain tight work-schedule
and meet deadline. These are key transferrable skills within the field of project
management. These go hand-in-hand with the standards, methodologies, theories and
concepts which I will gain throughout the course of study.
By the end of the course, I will be able to plan my project effectively, estimating time
factors accurately and handling the work of different projects efficiently. I will recognize
the different stakeholders involved in the projects and be able to devise strategies for each
of them. I will have useful tools for risk analysis which I can apply to a wide range of
situations and I will be able to cost the different elements of my project accurately and
monitor my project budget. The management part would be a bonus and provide extra
edge to start career as a manager.
On completion, when I return to India with this premier qualification, I will be in demands
for prestigious career at reputed companies. There are wide ranges of international
companies investing in our economy for health, education, housing, gas, oil, shipping,
clothing and other privatized projects. I am confident I will avail a position as project
supervisor at the list immediately after I graduate. In next 5 years, I can develop the career
to higher level and become a project manager, project engineer, project director or can
work as a freelancer or open outsourcing company in the area. It would be a life-changing
opportunity indeed.
