Project managers can work for public, municipal or private companies, and there are plenty of opportunities to work as a self-employed person. Fields of activity can be very diverse – from business to entertainment. Most project managers are office workers, but there is a growing trend for project managers to plan their time individually, particularly taking into account the industry in which the project is being developed (for example, an event project manager’s working hours do not usually fit into standard office hours).

After graduation, a student can continue education in the doctoral programme “Business Management”.
