Philips has announced an academic collaboration with Indira University and MIT Art, Design & Technology University to introduce a Project Management specialization for undergraduate engineering students and first year MBA students. The program was launched across both university campuses in Pune.
The initiative is designed to address a gap in technical and management education where project management skills are increasingly in demand but remain limited within formal curricula. The specialization focuses on practical leadership oriented and industry aligned project management capabilities based on widely used professional practices.
The program offers more than fifty hours of blended learning combining classroom teaching with online modules. Delivery will be handled by trained university faculty with academic support and course content provided by Philips. To strengthen real world exposure Philips project managers will conduct quarterly guest lectures at both institutions.
Initially the specialization will run at the two partner universities with plans to expand to additional institutions in the future. The program is structured to fit within existing academic frameworks making it easier for universities to adopt and scale.
