Direct Entry
With its roots going as far back as 1843, Coventry University has a long tradition as a provider of education, and has been awarded 5 QS Stars Overall by QS Stars University Ratings for areas including teaching, employability, global engagement and facilities.
This final stage is open to graduates of the LIBT Postgraduate Diploma in Project Management (Level 7). Your diploma provides direct entry, meaning you proceed straight to the dissertation and internship project stage without completing the full taught MSc programme at Coventry University. IELTS 6.5 overall, with a minimum of 5.5 in each component, is required if English is not your first language.
The final stage comprises two components: a Dissertation (60 credits) and an Internship Project (60 credits), totalling 120 credits. The internship project gives you the opportunity to apply your learning in a real professional context, making this top-up more substantial than a dissertation-only pathway. The full stage is typically completed within 6 to 12 months, studied 100% online alongside your professional commitments.
On successful completion, you are awarded the MSc in International Project Management by Coventry University, a full UK master’s degree from a university ranked 9th among modern UK universities by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025.
