This is a 5-ECTS course, which means that students are expected to dedicate approximately 125 hours of workload. (25 hours per ECTS). This workload may encompass various activities, including lectures, synchronous, or asynchronous autonomous student work, study time, presentations preparations or any other time dedicated to the subject.

Furthermore, the course will cover different topics such as Basics of project management, Project costs and accounting, Design Sprint methodology and Project-challenge presentation.

Students will be introduced to the major and latest theories, concepts, techniques and tools used in companies for the management of projects from both academic and practical perspectives as well as from a top-down and a bottom-up approach. Moreover, they will study the different techniques, the definition and sizing of the set of actions to perform in a given schedule in different spatial locations, by means of limited resources and costs, as well as with the participation of professionals from different cultures and countries and the project management tools used to manage projects efficiently.

Students will explore the contents provided by developing a challenge and practising different organizational roles during the challenge. This will provide them with practical knowledge about how to become a project manager and the challenges that they would face in that process. This practical approach and their reflection will be an important learning experience that will be helpful for other projects that students will do in the later stages of the Bachelor as well as in their professional careers.
