Abstract

The objective of this paper is to address the methodological process of the design of a Postgraduate Program integrating the international project management competences. This master program is fruit of a cooperative model of Project Based Learning (PBL) from the experience of the Educative Innovation Group of the UPM -GIE-Project- in collaboration with other external agents to the university. The model evolves in different phases until being inserted in the European Space of Higher Education with the International Project Management Association (IPMA) competences. In this last phase, with the support of a Teaching Innovation project, the program is inserted as Erasmus Mundus Master of Science and like Registered Education Programme of IPMA. In the project participate five Universities of the European Union and eight Universities outside the European Union. Teaching Innovation Projects experience show the main factors of success in the followed process: the links between teaching-professional certification, the evaluation of competences, the Project Based Learning, teaching subjects in connection with real-world problems, the cooperative learning, mobility activities and integration and overlap teaching-research applied.
