Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has a start date in September  

The MSc Management of Information Technology is a complementary course to the MSc in Information Technology. While the MSc IT trains future technical experts, the MSc Management of IT trains future IT managers who will work in various sectors of business or industry.

The course is designed to provide an appreciation, at a working level, of the technical, organisational and economic issues involved in the management of IT resources, which includes an overview of networks, the internet, databases, human factors and software development. There is also an in-depth study of the management of IT, the applications of IT in business and industry and software project management.

This course is designed primarily for those with a background in arts, humanities or social sciences; no previous experience with computers and IT is required.

To maximise flexibility for students moving into a new discipline, the first semester is shared with the MSc Information Technology. It is thus usually possible for suitably qualified students, registered for the MSc Management of IT, to transfer to the MSc IT after the first semester.
