Master in Project Management for Business Performance & Innovation

The Master in Project Management for Business Performance & Innovation is an executive programme dedicated to those who manage or intend to manage complex projects, with particular attention to innovation, digital transformation and project governance. The programme is divided into eight modules organised around three axes: individual skills, organisational capabilities and leadership, so as to train project managers who can lead teams and organisations, as well as master the technical tools. Project management is the discipline that makes it possible to turn an objective into an organised set of activities, resources, timescales and responsibilities. The master approaches it in a modern way, linking it to innovation and digital transformation, and shows how to manage projects in which uncertainty is high and requirements change during development.

The overall load is 240 hours: 168 hours in the classroom, 48 hours of individual distance learning and 24 hours of assisted teamwork. The format is weekend, with one meeting a month from Thursday to Saturday, suited to those who work. The master lasts 8 months, takes place in Turin and is entirely in English, with a B2-level certificate required for admission. The cost is €9,000. The page does not give the credits, whether there is an internship, the start dates, the deadlines or any additional fees. The structure in eight modules, built on individual skills, organisational capabilities and leadership, reflects the idea that a good project manager should not be only a planning technician, but a person able to motivate, to negotiate and to make decisions. Assisted teamwork, with 24 hours devoted to it, makes it possible to exercise these skills in a group.

The aim is to train figures such as the project manager, the project director and professionals in consulting and corporate innovation. The master is aimed at bachelor's or master's graduates with at least six months of professional experience after graduation and certified knowledge of English at B2 level. The international environment and the intensive format make it possible to build skills that can be used immediately in the company and to broaden one's network of contacts. The Polytechnic University of Turin is ranked 241st in the 2025 QS world rankings and 103rd in the European ones. The programme is suited both to young professionals and to managers who want to formalise and strengthen experience gained in the field. The intensive format, with one weekend a month from Thursday to Saturday, concentrates lessons in three-day blocks and leaves time between one meeting and the next for individual study and for application at work. The cost of €9,000 and the load of 240 hours make it a professionally oriented programme, aimed at those who have already gained some experience.
