The purpose of the course ”Project Management and Sustainability” is to provide students with knowledge and understanding about projects as a form of organising sustainability. The course aims to develop students’ abilities to analyse and critically reflect on models and techniques for planning, implementing, communicating and evaluating projects through the lens of sustainability.

This course is based on two modules:

Module 1: Project Management in Practice and Research provides students with the knowledge about project management from a practice and research perspective. The focus of this module is on sustainable processes in both the management of and outcomes for a project. This module is based on lectures and discussions about project management models, tools and techniques and their relationships to sustainability. This module is assessed by an analysis of a comprehensive project management case in the context of sustainability.

Module 2: Projects for Sustainability is based on an independent group project where students identify a “sustainability challenge” and design a project to address this problem. Students provide a project plan using relevant models, tools and techniques and collect and analyse quantitative and qualitative data in relation to the project. This includes a written project plan report and an oral presentation.
