The MSc in Information Technology, Management and Organisational Change (ITMOC) is a one-year full-time programme. We recruit around 40 students each year from every corner of the world.
Programme content
The ITMOC programme looks at the development, management, organisation and use of information technology within organisations. Our programme content consists of a number of core modules such as knowledge management, project management and managing change that we view as being fundamental. We also provide options that offer students the chance to specialise in either management issues (e-business), organisational issues (digital divide) or in the technology domain (ICT infrastructures).
- More information on programme content
Overall, the ITMOC programme seeks to provide students with relevant skills and up-to-date knowledge to effectively manage IT and IT-induced organisational change. The ITMOC learning environment develops students’ intellectual and analytical abilities so they are equipped to respond to the endless stream of technological developments they will encounter in their work following their successful graduation from ITMOC.
