Manage large projects by identifying their key characteristics, examining the key factors and risks that affect their performance and exploring methods to counter their impact on the successful delivery of projects.
Looking into examples of best practice, you'll explore the relationship between projects, programmes and portfolios. You'll also discover the roles performed by the project manager, examine the difficulties associated with quantifying transaction costs in major project management and consider how different management approaches impact on these costs. Optimism bias and strategic misinterpretation regularly cause delays to major engineering projects. Using stimulating case studies, you'll evaluate the measures of success and compare and contrast 'project success' versus 'project management success'. In the final week of the course, you'll research and present a contemporary example of a major engineering project from your own country. This course explores concepts analysed in the University’s Online MSc in Engineering Management. If you are interested to develop your skills further, take a look at our online degree.

The course is very much practicality oriented. Learning process and structure of the course is very well and easy to go.
AT
Well structured and examples provided by case study. Good to get a feedback from the learners, but also some recommendation and feedback from SMEs would be great.

This course has been a revelation for me. It takes you through all the modules in way that is easy to understand and rich in content.
RR
Useful & Informative course explained in crisp 5-15 min sessions. Assignments involve application of the learning that help the concept to be understood more clearly
RV
A course that should be done by students seeking to get into Project Management. An interactive course filled with a lot of peer-reviewed assignments.
JS
A great learning experience, more of case studies and theories, but having a practical sense of this course. Will be helpful for me in the completion of my bachelor's degree

BIG THANKS FOR UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS AND SPECIAL THANKS FOR DR Giorgio locatelli. he has guided us nicely in this course.he made the course smooth and easy
GM
Excellent content, pretty comprehensive, but references are a little bit old. Cases of study are interesting and acceptable.
PS
I have learned key factors in major projects which I earned some pieces from my working experience but this course helps me learning all pieces!
SM
The course is beautifully designed in a very crisp manner which makes it easy to understand. The real-time project scenarios and the assignments make the course robust.
TS
A very thorough course, perfectly understood by me who is just a third-year civil engineering student! I would like to see more course like this
MK
it gives very good knowledge of the wind power utilization with with clear explanation of installation, design calculations, problems and Economic consideration. i liked it

Why this course needs our account be verified as compare to other which don't requires ? I am finding difficulties in getting certificate.

It is very good course. It helped me alot in learning new things.
Top class academics, leaders on their field. Excellent content. The course covers so many aspects go Major engineering projects and the activities are demanding enough to challenge students to think different and engage with academic writing. Definitely a recommended course!
Very interesting and well structured content. Now moving on to complete the specialization. Engaging and relevant data and references. I recommend to anyone in major infrastructure project environment or who are interested to understand them in detail.

A very interesting course. Provides useful knowledge with interesting examples and challenging tasks. Recommend to everyone studying business or engineering.
Great Course, I get a lot of new definitions and methods for major projects
Nice learning experience
I personally loved this course because it gave project management very new aspects such as the difference between project management success and project success, etc. The main highlight of this course is its case studies which help achieve a lot more clarity about the content being taught as compared to the learning made through just listening to the lectures.
Very good information about the course, I learned a lot with the cases, papers and the explanations of Dr. Giorgio Locatelli. Thanks for bringing such important information about Major Projects. Thanks University of Leeds.
This course is really helpful for those who seek employment opportunities or future career in Construction project management (CPM). It has allowed me to widen my understanding of managing engineering projects.
Un tema de altísima importancia e interés, especialmente para países en desarrollo. Recomendaría que este tópico fuera incluido en curso y/o posgrados de proyectos en las universidades.

Had a great experience learning here. One of the bestest course for learning major engineering project problems and their performances.
This course presents much more than expected at the intermediate level. Its comprehensive and accommodating in all aspect of delivery.

The Course Major Engineering Project Performance is very efficient and effective in my point of view. I have learned lot of knowledge
