This course aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to undertake senior professional managerial roles within the Information Technology (IT) sector. It brings together the latest research coupled with the best internationally accepted management practice and relates these to the needs of today´s organisation.
Many graduates of computer science, computer engineering, information technology and information systems courses start their careers as developers, software engineers or in technical area like network support. However, as their careers develop, they find themselves increasingly confronted with business and management problems which, notwithstanding their technical skills and experience, they have not been trained to handle.
This course is designed to fill this gap by providing a practical grounding in critical aspects of IS/ICT management together with an understanding of current thinking about ICT management and governance.

The syllabus comprises a balanced mix of practice and theory. An important aspect of the course is a continuing close involvement with business, industry and the public sector. The course is taught by a mixture of academics with a background in industry and senior professionals from both the private and public sectors.
