It should be noted that we are currently witnessing a growing professional demand for training in project management in the different productive and service sectors (construction, manufacturing, IT, R&D, development aid, etc.). Demand that has not yet received an energetic response from the University System, except in regions such as Catalonia, the Valencian Community or Madrid (areas in which, on the other hand, degrees in project management are their own degrees), which is why this proposal It would serve to place the Universities of Galicia in the same area as the most advanced, in this field, in the State.
The justification for the need to offer a professional postgraduate degree in project management is given by the high demand for expert professionals in project management that is currently occurring. Every day you can see in the written press, national and European, abundant job advertisements with names such as "project manager", "program director", "project director", "project manager" or, directly (even in Spain), “programmanager” or “project manager”.
There is, therefore, a clear demand for this type of professional. The need for the existence of a professional who can carry out horizontal and vertical integration for the management of all the resources available in the project, requires a high level of prior learning, as well as specific theoretical-practical knowledge for this professional.
