Msc in project management or MBA?

Dear Norul,

You can visit the www.pmi.org website and search for universities around that world that is approved by the Project Management Institute.

Good Luck,

Samer

Thanks Samer, will try to look in that website.

cheers

Hi Norul,

In response to your query Which ones is more worth to use in future is it MSC in Project management or is it MBA?
why I ask MBA as well, because my boss said many project managers took MBA instaed of MSC in PM. Any ideas why?

A lot of managers take an MBA as it is, supposedly, a more general qualification which has wider applicability than a qualification solely related to Project Management. It may also be that MBA is more widely recognised internationally than a Project Management related MSc. However things are changing all the time, so probably your best bet is to go for the qualification that appeals to you the most.

Hi Norul,

I did an MSc in Project Management because i wanted to work in projects.

An MBA is what it is, a business admin qualification and therefore it covers many more topics all in slightly less detail.

I think any course you choose should reflect what you want to do in the future, otherwise it is wasted effort.

Hi Oliver,

Did you find the MSC in Project Management beneficial for your job?

Additionally did it reflect positively on salary?

I did find it beneficial for my job, but i think the biggest benefit is in the job opportunities its opens up.

Working on a live project is the best way to learn and build experience, but further education allows people to understand why they are doing something and not just how to do it. I believe this in turn means that the quality of their work/decisions becomes greater.

Oliver,

I know what you mean, and I agree completely.
