Description	The main aim of this module is to introduce participants to the principles and practice of sustainable and ethical Project Management. The module will therefore develop an understanding of how effective project management contributes to organisational success and enable managers to implement a project management approach. This will comprise both the techniques of project management (planning, scheduling, control and evaluation) and the organisational, sustainability, team, leadership and ethical aspects of managing projects. Students will be encouraged to think critically about project management techniques. While there will be some exploration of basic techniques, the emphasis will be on critical reflection of assumptions, techniques and procedures and a development of managerial thinking within a project environment.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate understanding of the key features of effective project management and how projects interact with the wider managerial environment  Critically examine the different approaches that may be adopted in design and implementation of projects.  Critically examine how organisations manage risk and uncertainty embedded in projects.  Demonstrate negotiation, communications, leadership, interpersonal skills, and stakeholders' management skills
