Programme specification

Effective and innovative use of digital technologies is essential for any contemporary business to remain competitive and thrive in the digital economy. The MSc Management of Information Systems and Digital Innovation aims to equip students with vital skills to manage and drive opportunity through information systems, as well as providing a critical understanding of the associated complexity and challenges. These capabilities are in high demand and current trends look only to increase this as businesses and governments seek to capitalise on rapid technological advancements.

This course will provide in-demand digital skills for the current and future labour market. We strive to be ahead of the technology curve as we anticipate future oriented technology use and digital change. The core of the programme is a focus on sustainability and human centred technology for the benefit of individuals, businesses, and society to overcome critical global issues and build digital resilience. To achieve this, we aim to educate graduates who are systems thinkers and confident innovators. Our students are proactive, able to think laterally and holistically, and work in dynamic environments with strong critical thinking skills and the ability to communicate effectively.
Students taking this programme will be exposed to a range of emerging and future technologies which are revised continuously in collaboration with our Industrial Advisory Board. The programme has a strong engagement with industry to provide students with cutting-edge tools and techniques that are used in practice to solve business problems. At the same time, the course is underpinned by management theory and project management approaches. Students join us from both technical and business backgrounds and take advantage of the opportunity to tailor the course to their needs and interests through our optional modules.
