Management and Information Systems

Duration:

1 year full-time, starting in October
2-5 years part-time, starting throughout the year

Course Overview:

This multidisciplinary and practical course prepares students for careers where the timely provision and management of information is essential to business success. It provides knowledge of both management and information systems, and closes the gap that exists in industrial, commercial and governmental organisations between managers who understand the business but are 'frightened' of the technology, and the 'techies' who are good at their jobs but have little knowledge of how to run a business.

The MSc course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) for meeting the further learning requirements for Chartered Engineer registration.

The course objectives are achieved through a carefully integrated and structured series of eight one-week assessed modules, a group project and an individual project. 60% of the course involves industrial project work within UK organisations. In many cases this has led directly to employment opportunities with the companies concerned.

Course structure:

The modules include lectures and tutorials and are assessed through written examinations and assignments. These modules provide the tools required for the group and individual projects.
