About the program

The progress of science and engineering projects has led to important changes in the various facets of project execution.

These changes have produced greater objectivity in management aspects, with a more complete and accurate methodological instrument. Likewise, all aspects of management have gained more prominence thanks to the importance of the participation of human resources in the development of a project. Given the continuous failures of projects, there is an imperative need to consolidate and raise the quality of their design stage, understanding this stage as the creative and cognitive process of conceiving and formulating the foundations of a project, which requires management of adequate knowledge and direction.

The Master’s Program in Design, Management and Project Management (MDGP) joins these 3 elements in order to comprehensively train a project specialist, with the capacity, ability and knowledge of:

  • Design a project;
  • Manage your projection from the initiation to post-mortem reflection;
  • Direct all individual and collective human efforts towards the ends of the project and the interests of those affected.

The master’s program of project management of University CEPES provides an interdisciplinary education in management and engineering fundamentals, with an emphasis on new developments to manage projects in different fields.

This master program is conducted by the University of CEPES in Mexico

The online degrees have international validity and are recognized by educational authorities in Mexico accredited by RVOE: MAES080809, Code: D.G.P. 771555.
