Study for an accredited qualification

This unique study programme will give you all the tools necessary for becoming an information technology master. Learn how to be the contact person and leader of IT systems and development.

Help teams and companies adopt innovative digital business tools and operations, and combine strong information technology knowledge with wider business insights and people management skills. Unlike an IT master programme, this degree focuses on giving you the tools to mediate between bigger picture business planning and the more technical aspects of owning an IT infrastructure.

The Information Technology MA programme is offered as either a 120 ECTS degree, for students with a BA in Business Administration or Economics; or as a 60 ECTS degree, for students of all backgrounds who already have professional experience of working in IT.

Online course overview

Over the course of this online Master in Management of Technology, you will explore the different aspects required for setting up an IT system. You’ll start by familiarizing yourself with the foundations of IT: hardware, software and distributed systems.

You’ll then dive into topics such as IT law, IT service management and IT project management. The focus will then turn to managerial aspects: leadership and analysis skills, along with an introduction to the different approaches of assessing and preventing potential cyber threats.

Round out your expertise by exploring agile project management, and choosing from a wide variety of specializations that best suit your interests and goals, from Blockchain and Quantum Computing to project management with Scrum to Artificial Intelligence.
