Yes, you are eligible to pursue a master's degree in project management or related fields like engineering management or information technology in the UK.

Your four-year bachelor's degree and 12 years of work experience make you a strong candidate. Most UK universities require a minimum of 55-60% in your undergraduate degree; your 7.2 CGPA generally meets this. Relevant work experience, especially in project management, is highly valued and can strengthen your application.

You will also need to demonstrate English proficiency, typically with an IELTS score of 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0). Requirements and fees are subject to change.

Yes, the UK is a strong option for your Master's in Project Management.

Your four-year bachelor's degree (7.2 CGPA) and 12 years of work experience meet typical UK entry requirements. Most universities require at least a 2:2 honours degree (about 55%+) and value significant professional experience, which can help offset your seven backlogs. You’ll need to explain the backlogs in your application.

You must take the IELTS exam, aiming for at least 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0), as required by most UK universities.

UK Master's programs in Project Management are usually one year, with practical placements and a post-study work visa (Graduate Route) allowing up to two years of work after graduation.
