PROJECT MANAGERS SELECTION

The selection of project managers will be done as a part of the team formation process. If you are studying product development, considering the role of a project manager is a natural option.

If you’ve already studied project management, why not try out how the science works in practice? We’ve also had awesome managers from Design, Business and from Cognitive science.

PROJECT MANAGER AS A LEADING ROLE

The candidate must understand that the management position is not something for the manager to fulfil the need for recognition. It is a leading role that is important for the whole team, and an amazing opportunity to learn project management. If you have courage, enthusiasm, and humor – why not go for it?

We would be happy to hear if you are interested in the role of a project manager and answer any additional questions you may have, so please feel free to contact the teaching team.
