You should have a good undergraduate degree (in a relevant area). A basic familiarity with IT is essential, and we view work experience positively. In the selection process we pay particular attention to your academic interests and purpose of study.
In the Michaelmas term the MISI degree programme develops general managerial and theoretical competencies in ICT innovation delivered in three compulsory half units.
In the Lent term, you take your chosen three half unit options, two of which must be from within the same stream and the third can be taken from the other stream or from a list of other alternatives. This provides students the opportunity for a more in depth study and the chance to specialise.
Your course selection is made in discussion with your academic adviser, taking into account your background, intellectual interests and career aspirations. Not all options run each year. In the summer term students start work on the full unit dissertation.
This programme is based in the Information Systems and Innovation Group within the Department of Management and offers the following benefits:
* MSc teaching is closely linked to new research in the field.
* We have extensive contacts with London based and international businesses and governmental organisations.
* There are numerous career opportunities for people with information technology skills both with the various industries that supply information technology (including information systems and management consultancies), and those that use it. MSc graduates may follow either a more technical or managerial career path, depending upon their interests and previous background.
