Master's Programme in Strategic IT Management, 120 hp

Are you interested in leadership and management of companies and other organisations? Today, IT plays a very important role for leadership and management in all organisations. Based on modern IT, new forms of organisations such as networks and virtual organisations and meeting places have emerged. In order to develop and maintain the efficient use of scarce resources now and in the future, deep and up-to-date knowledge of information systems and organisations is necessary. Therefore, the programme combines a business administration approach to effective management and organisations with information technology’s potential to manage modern organisations. The programme is designed for students with a Bachelor’s Degree in either business administration or computer and systems sciences, for example computer science, system science, informatics, information systems, etc., or both. Since students may have different backgrounds the programme starts out with a levelling term to obtain a basic knowledge in the complementary area. The core of the programme consists of courses on strategic management of IT, service marketing and management, organisational change, and decision support and analysis. After this phase the students choose to focus on either “Business administration” or “Computer and systems sciences”. Each specialisation track consists of a variety of elective courses from which students compose their own combination as well as writing the master thesis. Graduates of this program will find positions as managers in midsize or large companies and other organisations. Graduates may also enter PhD programs for a research career.
