Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has a start date in September  

Digital technologies are transforming business, government and society underpinning a growing digital economy that will shape the way we live, work, play and travel in the future. The MSc Digital Economy responds to a growing UK need across a range of sectors including energy, transport and creative industries. The course will provide you with an understanding of the technological, human and business innovation aspects of the Digital Economy. This will prepare you for a career in an industrial, commercial or research environment.

As it is an interdisciplinary enterprise, we welcome students from diverse backgrounds, including Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business and Social Sciences.

By developing the skill set required to commercialise an idea and providing an understanding of how the increased penetration of digital technologies into everyday living can be both a commercial success and offer societal improvements, the course aims to create an increased culture of socially aware entrepreneurship in the Digital Economy. If you wish to develop confidence and understanding in entrepreneurship applied to technology and of the role and impact of such technology in society this course is for you.
