Testimony
«I am a person who likes to take on new challenges and develop, because I believe that there is always room for improvement. I studied the Master in Administration and Project Management-On Campus at the UPC because I wanted to complement my career in Business Administration. It was an excellent decision, because I can apply the knowledge that I have acquired there every day. For example, the negotiation and soft skills courses that I took during this program were excellent contributions to my profesional life, since every day I have to coordinate with leaders, sponsors and stakeholders from different areas and hierarchical levels. I also learned that the golden rule is to respect organization and processes if each project is to overcome the obstacles that arise during its implementation. In addition, the master's degree includes a preparation workshop for the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification exam. During this workshop, various questionnaires are solved and test simulations are carried out. The experience gained with this master enables you to be able to pass the exam. For me it is clear: the master's degree meant a great boost in the professional and labor field. Thanks to this master's degree, I went from being an analyst in my previous job to occupying a manager position in the current one. Today I lead the Project Management Office (PMO) in the company where I work ”.
