The MSc Business in Technology is built around a triangle of business understanding, human insights, and technical capability. You will cover topics such as business analysis, structured problem solving, stakeholder and client management, influencing and leadership, transformation management and tech and data science. You’ll graduate with advanced business and leadership skills that are highly relevant to organisations engaging with technology-led transformation and innovation.
The course uses a mix of applied theory, practical teaching and ‘real world’ project-based learning to develop the business acumen and leadership skills required to manage and lead transformation and sustainable change. This course encourages collaboration and building a community of learners, providing the opportunity to explore ideas, network, and learn with like-minded people.
There is also an option to apply to our PGCert Business Analysis and Consulting (which forms part of this Masters degree).
This is a 3-year part-time course that requires you to attend a 1 x 3-hour weekly class and study pre-recorded video tutorials in your own time.
The course utilises a unique blended delivery mode, combining on-campus teaching with online learning. Online sessions will take the form of pre-recorded lectures and prepared resources that students can access in their own time to suit their individual circumstances.
This course is also available to study fully online with intakes in January, March, May, July, September and November.
The programme offers the opportunity to apply the learning and assessments to real-life projects, industry and work-based scenarios.
Assessments will take the form of reports and business case writing, professional conversations, business simulation tasks, online presentations and learning logs.
Assessment is 100% via coursework – both individual and group work.
The University employs over 1,000 suitably qualified and experienced academic staff - 59% have PhDs in their subject field and many have professional body recognition.
Courses are taught by staff who are Professors (25%), Readers, Senior Lecturers (20%) or Lecturers (55%).
We require most academic staff to be qualified to teach in higher education: 82% hold either Postgraduate Certificates in Higher Education Practice or higher. Most academic staff (81%) are accredited fellows of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) by Advanced HE - the university sector professional body for teaching and learning. Many academic and technical staff hold other professional body designations related to their subject or scholarly practice.
The profiles of many academic staff can be found on the University’s departmental websites and give a detailed insight into the range of staffing and expertise. The precise staffing for a course will depend on the department(s) involved and the availability and management of staff. This is subject to change annually and is confirmed in the timetable issued at the start of the course.
Occasionally, teaching may be supplemented by suitably qualified part-time staff (usually qualified researchers) and specialist guest lecturers. In these cases, all staff are inducted, mostly through our staff development programme ‘First Steps to Teaching’. In some cases, usually for provision in one of our out-centres, Recognised University Teachers are involved, supported by the University in suitable professional development for teaching.
