The Taste of EuroMPM The Smell of EuroMPM

European Masters in Project Management - **EuroMPM** - [|EuroMPM.net] are offered by a Consortium including
 * **University of Applied Sciences and Arts Dortmund**, Germany. [|EuroMPM Dortmund]
 * **Norwegian University of Science and Technology**, NTNU, Trondheim, Norway
 * **University of the Basque Country**, Bilbao, Spain

These new masters are based upon existing courses at various universities of the consortium.

The new masters unify and strengthen the previous courses and will be strong enough to attract students and lecturers from all over the world. The concepts of these courses follow the strategies of ErasmusMundus.

The EuroMPM is focused on the growing demand of project management qualification in all industries as well as in public administration. Projects are started everywhere. The ratio of projects versus classical ongoing operations is growing in all industries and all kinds of organizations. Finally projects become more and more complex – because they have to establish systems of growing complexity – and because many projects have to be regarded as global projects based upon multi-cultural teams working for clients all over the world. The EuroMPM includes the training and development of all those qualifications that are important for certification of project managers according to project management associations – for example the Project Management Professional PMP® of PMI®. But of course the EuroMPM goes far beyond these elementary qualification standards.

The EuroMPM offers an advanced concept to meet the requirements of project management today and in the future.

This document describes the first version of the EuroMPM to implemented at the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund in 2006 – a full-time study course with 4 semesters scheduled in a 2 year programme. Additional versions will be implemented at the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund later.

A core concept of the EuroMPM for all versions is that students start at one school within the consortium and spend at least one semester at another school within the consortium.

At all universities offering the EuroMPM, the learning outcomes from Semesters 1 and 2 are the same. Students are free to study Semesters 1 and 2 at any of the partner institutions.

At Semester 3, partner universities offer modules reflecting the specialization of the institution and local industry. At semester 4 the students will write the master thesis.
