This portability means your progress isn’t tied to a desk or a specific location. Your degree fits your lifestyle, not the other way around.

Open-Book Assessments, Not Memorisation Exams

Real projects demand analysis, judgment, and the ability to find and apply the right tools—not rote recall. That’s why the programme uses open-book assessments instead of classical question/answer exams, encouraging critical thinking and practical application.

You’ll demonstrate how you evaluate options, justify decisions, and reference frameworks to solve authentic problems. This assessment style mirrors the way high-performing project leaders deliver results in the real world.
