Enterprise IT Management MSc

Whether you currently work in IT or a role related to this area, this online MSc Enterprise IT Management will give you a solid understanding of cloud computing, cyber security and data science. The course combines technical expertise with a holistic understanding of business strategy. What’s more, our modules are measured against the new EITBOK, which is backed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, as well as the Association for Computing Machinery.

Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to conduct your own research project on a topic of interest relevant to the course.

Course features

We believe you get the most out of your time spent studying when you’re kept informed of your performance and we achieve this by:
• assessing you throughout modules rather than waiting for end of year assessments
• showing your marks in your grade book which can be viewed whenever you log onto the virtual learning environment (VLE)
• rapid turnaround on work assessed to ensure your grade book is always up to date
• ensuring you have regular contact with your Student Support team

Assessment

All assessments are delivered through our virtual learning environment (VLE). You’ll submit assignments through the VLE, such as written reports, discussion forum participation or reflective journal entries.
We also have a policy of ensuring that the work submitted by students is authentic – we use a well-established electronic monitoring system to check for plagiarism.

Career prospects

This MSc Enterprise IT Management will equip you with the knowledge to progress in many IT roles, including project manager, analyst, engineer or administrator in digital transformation, cloud solutions or DevOps. You may also take on a position in governance, risk and compliance or continue in your current role with a greater insight into the IT challenges facing your organisation.
