MSc International Project Management: Building the skills for a global project management career

GEM

More than 100 French and international students joined the MSc International Project Management (IPM) this September, beginning a year focused on collaboration, leadership, and hands-on project experience.

Designed to prepare students for the realities of today’s international project environment, the MSc International Project Management brings together students from diverse academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds. Whether studying full-time or through a work-study pathway, and whether following the full or short track, students learn in a multicultural environment that encourages collaboration, adaptability, and cross-cultural communication — essential skills for tomorrow’s project managers.

A dynamic start built on teamwork

The academic year began with a series of interactive activities designed to help students connect, discover their strengths, and start working together from day one. Lego® Serious Play®, talent discovery workshops, and role plays encouraged students to build relationships while developing key interpersonal and teamwork skills.

Students also had the opportunity to meet industry professionals through roundtables and guest lectures. At the same time, they began working on their first team projects, tackling real project management challenges such as stakeholder analysis, needs assessment, and multimedia project delivery.

From the very first weeks, the MSc International Project Management puts learning into practice, combining academic knowledge with teamwork, problem-solving, and real-world project experience.

Learning from experienced project professionals

One of the key strengths of the MSc International Project Management is its strong connection with the professional world. Most courses are taught by project managers, consultants, and business professionals who bring their experience and expertise directly into the classroom.

Guest speakers, professional roundtables, and company visits give students the opportunity to discover different project management practices, gain insights into a wide range of industries, and engage with professionals working in the field.

These interactions also provide valuable opportunities to expand their professional networks and gain a clearer understanding of the career opportunities available in project management.

Developing certified project management skills

Throughout the MSc International Project Management, students develop both the technical and interpersonal skills needed to manage projects in complex and international environments.

The program also prepares students for the internationally recognized CAPM® (Certified Associate in Project Management) certification from PMI, providing an additional opportunity to validate their project management knowledge and strengthen their professional profile.
