Over the summer period towards the end of the course, you will undertake a research project related to the Management of Information Technology. This module involves conducting a piece of practical research. This research will be of some depth, and carried out under the supervision of a member of academic staff. Where appropriate, projects may also be conducted in conjunction with an external organisation.
The MSc Management of Information Technology is offered on a full-time basis over one year or part-time over two to four years.
The course comprises 180 credits, split across 120 credits’ worth of compulsory and optional modules and a 60-credit research project.
During the semesters, the course is taught by lectures, practical sessions and various other methods of teaching.
During the summer period, you will conduct an independent research project under the supervision of academic staff.
The first semester of this course is common with the MSc Information Technology, allowing for the possibility of transferring on to that degree stream in February if you (and the Course Directors) deem it to be more appropriate.
