Master in Project Design, Management and Administration

Program Presentation

The current professional demands of a globalized, multicultural world in permanent development have made the “area in projects” a meeting place for all professions.

It is impossible to think about a project today without understanding the involvement of professionals from different areas, each contributing their knowledge and experiences, with certain responsibilities according to each project’s stage of development.

The current trend also provides us with other important data: the percentage of project failures at the global level is much higher than those of successes, which is not only worrisome but also a fact that requires us to think about how we train in projects.

So far, we’ve seen that a serious and committed training plan should consider the introduction of professionals from all areas into individual training spaces as a first requirement, to maintain a professional and group identity to incorporate, not only a global, but a multicultural vision, which in the 21st century is essential for facing professional life.

The second requirement that we must meet is that if we want to achieve project success, we no longer simply need serious and measured planning, but the strategic design of the project that sets the conditions for said planning.

The urgencies in times of carrying out a project are increasingly becoming conditioned by its resources, by which we must understand how the creative process of a project designer works so as to acquire problem solving instincts.

This program is developed according to the previously explained requirements, and brought up to date on the new concepts of project development under a very clear philosophy:

"... We only learn by doing..."

The present Master’s content structure is arranged into three clearly related areas, project design, project management and project administration, and within two pedagogical dimensions stemming from two clearly defined study models. On the one hand, within a purely academic and theoretical virtual campus for individual participation, and on the other hand, within a professional space of methodological training, practice and with group participation, supported by the training in the use of project management tools.

In this way the student incorporates not only theoretical content into their training, but also applies them during the development of a real project, thus ensuring a thorough understanding of their knowledge.

At the program’s end, the student will have a document that we call a draft, which is the product of everything they have learned, and that will be their starting platform for their final and individual master's thesis.

The Master as a whole, through its contents and innovative training model, not only reaches the academic levels required by the participating Universities but also trains students in the professional standards and competencies established by recognized associations, including: IPMA, allowing the student to face professional evaluations of international recognition.

Who is the programme for?

The proposed training methodology added to the clarity, breadth and didactics of content design, allows the Master in Project Design, Management and Administration to be aimed at professionals with university training in all areas of knowledge, who wish to become involved in the world of projects in a responsible manner by joining project teams and, who likewise wish to work in the field of teaching and research of projects and/or in the professional field, exercising executive and advisory positions in projects.

Diploma

Successfully completing the program will award the student with the Degree in Master in Project Design and Administration.

After the program has been successfully completed, the student will receive the degree as issued by the University where they are enrolled.

Professional Certification

Each student has the possibility of obtaining a professional certification as a Certified Project Management Associate (Level D) through the cooperation agreement between FUNIBER with the Argentina Project Management Association (Asociación de Gestión de Proyectos Argentina, AGPA , and the Argentina IPMA Certifying Body (Organismo Certificador IPMA Argentina, OCIA).

To apply for the Certification Level “D” of the IPMA (Project Management Associate.) (*), the student should be enrolled for the certification and have completed Project Design Module. The certification consists of carrying out a test issued by the OCIA.

(*) Exclusive for student residents in America

Project presentations before FIDBAN

The International Entrepreneurs and Investors Network (FIDBAN), promoted by FUNIBER and other institutions, is a non-profit organization which is seeking to link profitable entrepreneurial projects that are in need of financing with possible capital investors. An International Network made up of Investors Clubs in 30 countries from Europe, America, Africa and Asia.
More information: https://www.fidban.com/

The teams from the Master will have the possibility of applying their projects to FIDBAN before possible investors, in order to obtain financing. This will take place once the project preliminary draft is academically approved.

There will be a submission deadline per year. This will be published in a timely manner, as well as the notification of the investment round in which the project will be presented.

Application Process

After the preliminary project is completed, those interested should present their project to the Academic Projects Department, APD, made up of professional experts in projects, who will or will not authorize the project’s presentation to FIDBAN.

The dates for the project exhibition rounds will be informed by FIDBAN once the projects are selected.

The APD will accompany the parties during the administrative process that they must comply with.

Program Structure

The credit structure of the Master in Project Design, Management and Administration program is shown in the following table. It should be noted that the duration is merely indicative, as the methodology followed integrates the knowledge and skills to be acquired in each part through integrative exercises of knowledge acquisition and internalization of project practices:

Study Plan

The Master in Project Design, Management and Administration program has a curricular structure based on 4 parts:

1^st PART: DESIGN

The first part, Project Design, introduces work methodologies to efficiently generate and manage the evaluation of said design and the knowledge created throughout it.

The corresponding subjects and credits of the first part are shown in the following table:

These subjects, despite being independent of each other, are complementary and structured in the progress of the studies, according to a coherent pedagogical order. Each is divided into basic thematic units or chapters, directly related to one or more of a practical exercise and includes theoretical support material and personalized follow-up by the area tutor. Because the development / design stage of a project allows for corrections, the student will not be able to pass by subject until the last moment, but will be approved once the complete module has been completed, at which time each of the subjects will be graded.

Once the Project Design module is completed and approved, the student may apply to take the international IPMA Level D Certification exam, sponsored by FUNIBER / AGPA. At the close of the Design module, the tutor in charge will inform the student about the registration procedure and the exam dates for certification.

2^nd PART: MANAGEMENT

The second part of Management develops all the component areas of a Project Management and its scope. It aims to provide a deep and overall vision of all the possible topics to be managed when managing a project, regardless of the project’s type or purpose, and educate the student on all the tools that currently exist in the market to carry out said activity. This second part provides the knowledge to comply with the training standards as established by the IPMA, AEIPRO and PMI.
