MSc Management of Information Technology
Course overview
This Master of Science course teaches you how to design, evaluate, and apply information technology systems in professional settings. The programme is designed to bridge the gap between strategic thinking and technical expertise, enabling you to manage complex IT resources effectively. Students explore key theories relating to IT management and analyse current system trends and operational methodologies.
The programme offers two academic pathways to suit students with either a management or a computer science background, allowing for specialisation. Your studies will conclude with an individual research project on any topic of your choice, such as IT innovation or complex project management. You will also benefit from learning directly from experts with strong connections to industry and policymakers.
