About the programme
This admission interview explores whether the diploma fits your experience and next career step. The panel is interested in how you plan work, manage risk, use limited resources and communicate with stakeholders. Direct project leadership is useful, but clear evidence from coordinating tasks, events or operations can also show readiness.
How to prepare
- Choose two projects and note their objectives, constraints, your actions and the results.
- Practise breaking a sample project into scope, activities, dependencies and milestones.
- Review how risk registers, budgets and change decisions support project control.
- Prepare an example of handling a delay, resource shortage or stakeholder disagreement.
- Connect the diploma curriculum to a specific gap in your current skills.
Common mistakes
- Calling routine tasks projects without defining an outcome, deadline or constraint.
- Giving plans with no owners, dependencies or way to track progress.
- Assuming every scope change can be accepted without a time or cost consequence.
- Focusing on software tools while neglecting judgement and stakeholder communication.
