My name is UnyeAwaji Nteogwuija, I have a Bsc in banking and finance and I intend to apply for the 2016 scholarship. Pls I want to know if I can apply for project management with my Bsc in banking and finance, as project management was also among my core courses in my final year. Thanks for your response in advance.
Hi UnyeAwaji Nteogwuija,it’s the school that will determine if your Bsc result qualifies you for a master degree in Project management. But in most cases, schools accept Bsc results that is related to the MSc program the applicant chooses to study.
