MSc in Information Management
Career benefits
You will acquire both a broad and a deep understanding of the principles and practice of information, systems and technology (the three streams of the programme) in their application to human activity systems. You will take a core module in each stream which will consolidate and deepen your existing knowledge in any of these areas, as well as provide a springboard to the options. Other core modules embrace databases, and professional, research, evaluation and communication skills.
The electives provide in-depth knowledge and skills which focus on the information stream, with some systems electives too, so that students have some flexibility in choosing areas of specialization.
The programme offers part-time students working in information management areas the opportunity to consolidate and expand their knowledge and skills, combining their work and academic experiences in a mutually supportive way.
Full-time students may be seeking a career in this field or to enhance their existing prospects; the core modules and the choice of electives should enable them to tailor the programme to their individual needs.
