The MSc Information Management and Business Technology has been designed with industry partners to produce graduates who understand the professional, managerial, and technical dimensions of information management and business technology. It is ideal for graduates who would like a career in digital technologies, information systems management, business and digital media analytics, big data, and competitive intelligence.
In today's digital age, the speedy and accurate sharing of the right information to the right people is essential for success in any organisation. It is an aspect of business management that cuts across business functions and has multiple implications for the challenges facing organisations today, including:
The ethical and legislative issues of using digital technologies
How digital technologies impact on organisational structure, employee expectations and business operations
Unlocking insights from big data to drive social and organisational improvement.
This programme is designed to develop students into a hybrid manager who is able to bridge the gap between technical and managerial perspectives and is equipped with the technical, professional and management knowledge and skills needed by employers. Students will explore the principles and practice of information and business technology management, along with the relationship between traditionally technology independent areas of an organisation and relevant non-technical business areas.
Loughborough University enables students to develop the key soft skills that employers value, including creative problem solving, critical thinking, team working, communication, personal resilience and dealing with organisational volatility. The taught functional “hard” skills include:
Students will be taught by experts from the UK’s leading Centre for Information Management (CIM) research centre who ensure that all teaching is informed by the latest commercial best practice and academic research. Loughborough University takes pride in teaching students how relevant and inspiring research can be used in practice to solve real world problems.
The use of guest lecturers from industry and not-for-profit organisations helps to embed this real-world perspective. In addition, students will have the opportunity to work on lots of interactive group challenges involving global organisational problems.
