MSc in Information Technology and International Business
This postgraduate degree, run in partnership with the Department of Economic Studies, is designed for graduates in subjects other than Computing or Economics/Business who feel that a postgraduate degree combining IT with Business would be a relevant and marketable addition to their existing qualifications.
Industry and commerce have an increasing need for IT-enabled decision makers and business-aware IT professionals. This postgraduate degree is designed to meet that need. The degree aims to give students a firm grounding in the knowledge, skills and understanding of computing, software development and the global business environment.
Format of course
The course runs from 13 September 2010 until 12 September 2011 (or 10 June 2011 for the Diploma course).
There is no January or February admission to this degree course. It consists of six taught units over two semesters, with an examination for each unit. Students then undertake an individual supervised project lasting until the end of the course.
