Programme

The overall aim of our Master of Science in Information Systems Management (MSc in ISM) programme is to give you the knowledge and skills to be an effective manager in an Information Systems-rich environment.

This programme is a bridge between technology and management; it was developed in response to the need of IT professionals to develop advanced management skills, that were formerly provided only by the MBA.

Our flexible, customisable MSc in ISM enables you to develop the core leadership and management skills covered by the MBA, while paying special attention to the needs of managers in IS-rich environments. It will also equip you with the theoretical foundations, practical abilities and ‘soft’ skills that will make you uniquely qualified to take advantage of a host of new career opportunities.

Target audience

At the end of the programme, you will have a thorough grasp of the current terminology, standards and knowledge in both Management and Computer Science – and complete confidence in your ability to evaluate IS issues and management methodologies.

The programme will meet the needs of those moving from a technical position into one in which managerial skills are also required; or those who are already operating in a managerial position in an IT-related field.
