About Programme

How do you create change and tackle the challenges of complexity and disruption through leading major programmes?

You’re already an experienced project or programme manager, fully capable of delivering promised outcomes and realising the business benefits of these focused, temporary organisations. But against a backdrop of climate change, the push to net zero, technological transformation, and economic and geopolitical uncertainty, you feel that you need to develop your skills further.

Programme Content

Over two years and eight intensive weeks in Oxford, the MSc in Major Programme Management will broaden and deepen your capabilities. It will introduce you to the latest research on programme management, systems thinking, leadership, risk, governance, and more. You will work with a diverse group of fellow students at the cutting edge of organisations and industries worldwide. And you will receive feedback and coaching to ensure that you can turn your new knowledge into effective and impactful action.

The eight modules are:

Designing and managing successful programmes
Systems thinking
Governance and stakeholder leadership
Major programme risk
Research methods
Managing Performance
Major programme impact
Major programme futures

As part of our continuous review process, elements of this programme are subject to change for the 2025 intake. Any modifications to the content will be communicated at the earliest opportunity.

I have been able to apply what I've learned to my workplace, using new language and terminology, and implementing changes where necessary. The way I see the bigger picture now and have been able to open my peripheral vision has really benefited what I'm doing and how I'm continuing to influence the organisation.
