MSc Information Technology Management |
| This course specialises in technology management, not generic management, focussing on management in technical environments whilst also enhancing IT capabilities. So it's a unique hybrid course which tackles aspects of business and IT, enabling students to become better, more effective managers, as well as IT practitioners - an excellent combination within the work place. Course Intro This course is suitable for those wishing to enter, or further their career as an IT manager. It provides information technology managers and graduates with the opportunity to study a range of subjects that will prepare them for the effective management of new technologies. The course aims to increase your knowledge, understanding and professional development across a balance of technical and managed areas. Emphasis will be placed on developing the necessary skills for you to manage your own learning and where appropriate to take those skills forward into your own workplace. The course is divided into two parts for both full and part-time study modes. The first part contains the taught element of the programme and allows you to study a range of modules before progressing to the second part, the dissertation stage. What you study Part 1 • Enterprise Infrastructure Management • Managing Projects and Programmes • Legislative and Professional Issues • Strategic Planning for Technology Management • Business Intelligence and Data Mining • Accounting and Financial Control Part 2 Dissertation: The dissertation involves research in a specific area of IT management in which you have a particular interest. The results of this research are presented in the dissertation, and will draw from the variety of modules you studied in Part 1. The dissertation will normally be completed in your third semester (full-time) or in your final two semesters (part-time). Where Next? In completing this course, you will develop your skills in learning how information technology can be successfully used in the workplace. This course should also improve your prospects for career progression within the information technology arena. Some students also progress to MPhil and PhD levels. |
