Programme Summary
The programme is tailor made for graduates and middle managers intending to understand the role of information technology in strategic management. The MBA (Information Technology) programme aims to give the developing manager a good understanding of the potential that IT has to improve effectiveness and enhance competitive positioning of a business.

This programme will enable you to make appropriate choices in selecting and leveraging the right IT tools keeping in mind the organisational dynamics without getting deeply engrossed in technical issues.

Course Details

Full-Time Delivery Model
The year is divided into 3 semesters. The programme can be completed in 12 months in a full-time mode, starting in either September or February. The course may also be taken on a part-time basis (see our part-time course list for details). Participants will study ten modules (or their equivalent) during the first two semesters. All the assessments for the modules, including coursework assignments, occur within the semesters. Participants who successfully complete the taught modules may exit the programme with a Postgraduate Diploma or undertake the dissertation over the third semester in order to obtain the award of MBA (Information Technology).
Please note that modules may not be offered in the same order and that we reserve the right to amend the programme at short notice in the interest of improving the quality of the programme.

Part-Time Delivery Model
Participants who would like to continue their work while taking the course over two years may undertake the programme in a part-time mode, by attending classes in a flexible manner. This makes our programme extremely valuable as participants will be able to relate their studies to practical issues they face in the work place, and immediately implement the professional knowledge they acquire during the course.
Participants choosing this mode will have to allow extra time for further study and practical work. However, they will be able to do this at home or at the college at their convenience, including weekends. The advantage of the evening programmes is that it operates in four 18 week blocks and two short summer blocks of study; from (approximately) October to January, February to May and from June to September.
