Postgraduate Diploma Leading to Master of Science in Strategic Business Information Technology by University of Portsmouth, UK
Looking for a single qualification that merges the practical or real world problems with the theoretical business models? The Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Business Information Technology Leading to Master of Science degree by University of Portsmouth, UK is the answer.
Within the marketplace, there are many diverse vocational qualifications which are aimed at senior IT personnel, but are always biased towards a specific product, hardware, software or business need. The MSc in Strategic Business Information Technology is a 18-month programme designed to equip the candidate with the necessary abilities to analyze the complex and interacting issues of a real world domain, to identify and be capable of analysis of alternative approaches to addressing these issues, and to select the most appropriate approach on the basis of experience and disciplined thought.
This programme provides a thorough knowledge of IT in business, strategy and management and prepares the individual with the necessary academic skills and credits for the eventual continuation to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. There is a strong IT theme running throughout the course and an opportunity to build on existing technical competencies, in networking, to an advanced level. The course focuses on four main skill-sets: -
- Academic skills at post-degree level
- Task management skills
- Business strategy skills
- Advanced technology skills
Conducted fully online through PurpleTrain, this programme is ideal for:
- Individuals who wish to build on their existing IT skills whilst being introduced to a range of business and management issues so as to equip them with relevant skills and knowledge to undertake responsibilities
- IT personnel who wish to enhance their career opportunities specifically in the areas of Management and Strategic Business Analysis
Students can earn a MSc in Strategic Business Information Technology degree upon successful completion of 3 core modules and 1 elective by NCC Education, plus 2 top-up modules by University of Portsmouth, UK.
Students applying for acceptance to these programmes should possess the following:
- A bachelor's degree or equivalent, or
- A non-IT degree but with at least 3 years work experience in an IT environment together with some management or supervisory experience, or
- 5 years work experience in an IT environment together with some management or supervisory experience, and
- TOEFL score of at least 550 or IELTS 5.5 (or their equivalent) for candidates whose first language is not English (or its equivalent).
It is recognized that many experienced IT professionals who work within the
industry do not have a degree. Therefore, where an IT professional can
display a minimum of 5 years relevant work experience, and is able to
show his/her suitability, he/she may still be accepted onto the programme.
