This module aims to introduce students to the analysis of human behaviour in project environments and behaviour of projects. The specific aim of the module is to extend students' knowledge and expertise which allow them to discuss and explain how and why people and projects behave as they do. By integrating behavioural science principles with traditional project management approaches, students will learn to recognize and address human factors, such as cognitive biases, team dynamics, and stakeholder behaviour, to enhance project outcomes.

The aims of this module are:

• Introduce students to the essential principles and practices of project management.
• Provide a foundational understanding of the project lifecycle, methodologies, and tools required to successfully initiate, plan, execute, monitor, and close projects within (intra) and across (inter) organisations context.

The aims of this module are to enable students to apply a systems approach to challenges and opportunities by:

• Developing students abilities to adopt a holistic approach to addressing systems problems.
• Providing students with knowledge of systems thinking tools and how to select the most appropriate tools for the problem or opportunity at hand.

This module aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of effective people management, organisational behaviour, and leadership. The focus is on both strategic and operational aspects of managing people within organisations. Students will explore key concepts such as organisational culture, motivation, team dynamics, and leadership styles. Additionally, the module will delve into strategic human resource management, including talent acquisition, performance management, and employee development.

Regarding organisational behaviour, students will consider how organisational structures and processes influence behaviour and performance and relate these to the factors affecting the efficient running, survival, and growth of an organisation in a competitive market. By the end of this module, students will be able to critically analyse leadership theories and practices, develop strategies for effective team management and organisational change, and understand the ethical and social implications of leadership in a global context. In addition, they will be able to describe and critically evaluate strategies for the effective management and planning of human resources within an organisation.
