Being involved in project management for more than 20 years, I’ve experienced different roles and responsibilities. As a project manager I’ve built and started the non-woven materials production in Russia. As a trainer and educator, I’ve delivered more than 500 courses for students and corporate specialists. As a consultant I’ve helped many companies from 15 industries to develop, deploy and improve their corporate project management systems.

Laurent, France
“I work as a project manager in the field of civil engineering in Augsburg, Germany. To fulfil the desire for scientific career, I enrolled in Phd of Project Management at Alma Mater Europaea in October 2017. Since I am employed and often on construction sites, online streaming of all lectures is a huge advantage. Thus, I am able to participate in discussions and assignments, not being deprived if I cannot personally attend the lectures. Not only professors are experts in their domains, also students are experienced professionals, covering different topics from the area of project management. We all are from different countries worldwide, so many topics are united in diversity.
Comparing price and quality of similar European institutions, the PhD degree in Project Management at AME is the best option. I have had the opportunity to meet the professors and other employers of AME - we are progressing together in a casual but professional atmosphere.”
