The Asian Institute of Technology ( AIT) has been offering Professional Master’s in Project management in Construction (MPM) in Myanmar since 2014. The Program has achieved a significant success in developing and enhancing project management professionals and organizations. This success is a result of three important factors: international experience in project management education, market oriented programs and curriculum development, and strong support from the alumni.
AIT’s Professional Master in Project Management in Construction (MPM) program offers at the right time for developing nations like Thailand and Myanmar as they construct cutting-edge, extensive infrastructure. We think that incorporating global perspectives into project management education will improve student networking and knowledge transfer. The need for project management experts is great in developing nations. Engineers haven’t yet been able to fully hone their project management skills, though. The Professional Master in Project Management in Construction (MPM) degree from AIT is given as a response to this need.
The program aims for students:
– To become outstanding managers and decision-makers familiar with the modern techniques of construction management, engineering management, and infrastructure management.
– To more competent and capable to manage international large construction projects.
– To be able to assist the corporation to install and develop project management system in a company.
The Professional Master of Project Management in Construction Program is designed for students who can both study and stay on the job.
