market. This degree will ensure that Lyceum graduates are adequately capacitated to fill commanding
roles within industry and commerce. With this degree as part of your CV, you will be able to embark on

This programme provides students with knowledge and understanding of project
management, together with a range of interrelated skills and competencies. Current news
articles reflect the desperate shortages of project management skills in the public and private
sector. These skills are required in both large-scale construction projects as well as medium and
small scale in-house projects. This certificate is an excellent introduction to this critical field of
management and includes basic general management skills.
Project management skills are in demand in almost every institution. Project management allows
practitioners to conceptualise, develop and implement projects. It is not the exclusive domain of
the construction or building sector.
Successful candidates will be able to progress to the Lyceum Advanced Project Management
