Rationale for Module |
Project management and professional communication
skills are vital for the students’ personal development and career success. Especially for young professionals, projects are a platform to gain experience, to meet experts from various fields and to demonstrate their own abilities to manage ideas and resources in an integrative manner. For companies, effective project management is necessary to generate innovations, react originally and flexibly to changing circumstances and in general to remain competitive. Managing an interdisciplinary project demands high quality communicative ability. Many companies select new staff members based not only on their academic grades, but focus increasingly on the candidate’s personality and transferable skills. |
