Overview

This programme explores digital innovation in businesses and governments around the world. The internet, mobile technologies and AI are radically changing how we create and share information, opening opportunities for new business models, new forms of governance, and new ways of engaging the public.

Managers with the capability to capitalise on digital developments are highly sought after in the job market. The MSc Management of Information Systems and Digital Innovation prepares students for key roles in shaping digital innovation and managing the business and social transformations it enables.

The programme is underpinned by research-led teaching with real-world relevance. Our learning approach emphasises theory and critical discussion of academic literature across a range of scientific fields. This includes social theories to understand information systems and innovation processes, alongside case studies illustrating management and innovation practice in specific contexts.
