Across sectors, there is high demand for managers and leaders who are well equipped to bridge the gap between technical and managerial perspectives. This degree has been designed with industry partners to address the need for these sought-after hybrid managers.
Offered full or part-time, this master’s is suitable if you are new to the subject or already have a grounding in the basics of IT or management.

You will also delve into the relationship between traditional technology independent areas of an organisation, and relevant non-technical business areas.
Alongside this, you will develop a solid suite of functional hard skills, such as managing information systems, new technologies (including SAP S/4 HANA), cloud computing, ethical AI, technology driven business models, basic coding and analytics.
