Project Management – Methodologies and Tools

Outcome for you:

As you actively engage with the topic, you will develop an analytical and pragmatic approach to practice project management. In other words, you will become a reflective project practitioner, who can spot, question and rethink taken-for-granted assumptions about project management practice and thereby develop survival skills for an increasingly projectized (working) life.

The organization gains a leader who:

• Define scope in line with organizational needs (effectiveness)
• Analyze, engage and mobilize stakeholders in project objectives
• Schedule a realistic plan for the project
• Allocate resources and manage project budgets
• Proactively assess and mitigate risks
• Engage in dialogue with clients during project initiation and follow-up
• View projects as a path to outcomes rather than just a delivery plan

The module can be expanded into a complete education. DTU offers a range of part-time diploma programmes:

• Diplomuddannelsen i Ledelse
• Diplomuddannelsen i Projektledelse
• Diplomuddannelsen Engineering Business Administration (EBA)
• Diplomuddannelsen i Operations og Supply Chain Management
• IT-Diplomuddannelsen NB!

Note: Please note that currently, only courses within the specialization in security are scheduled to be offered in 2024. This means that if you wish to specialize in security in your IT Diploma, you must enroll in Network Security and Applied Cryptography no later than 2024.

You can also choose to combine the module with more modules from the same or other subject areas to create your own flexible diploma programme.

The teaching for Autumn 2025 will be announced as soon as possible.

• TBA

To be admitted to a diploma programme, you must:

• Have a relevant qualifying examination minimum at the level of a business academy education or relevant further adult education.
• Have at least two years of work experience after qualifying examination.

Recognition of prior learning:

If you do not meet the formal requirements for admission to the diploma programme or the specific diploma modules you are interested in, you can request a recognition of prior learning assessment.

A recognition of prior learning assessment is an individual evaluation where you have the opportunity to have your competencies, knowledge, and skills recognized based on your work experience, volunteer activities, courses, etc., even if you do not have a formal certificate.

We assess your qualifications in relation to the goals and requirements of the specific diploma programme or modules.

With a recognition of prior learning assessment, we can determine whether you can successfully complete the diploma program or its components.

The price is determined based on factors such as:

• Lesson length
• Subsidy rates set by the Ministry of Education
• Special circumstances, such as the use of IT equipment, etc.

NOTE: There are special pricing rules if you are unemployed and the job center or municipality pays for participation. Read more about this in the section below.

If you have participated in a prior module:

Payment for the module entitles you to take the corresponding subsequent exam without additional payment. If you do not pass the exam the first time, you are entitled to take the equivalent exam in the following semester without extra cost.

If you have not participated in a prior module:

It is possible to register for an exam without having participated in or paid for the preparatory instruction/module.

• Modules of 10 ECTS credits: 5,000 DKK

For participation in final projects, the price per exam attempt is 5,000 DKK.

If you do not pass the exam and wish to take it again in the following semester, full participation fees must be paid again.
