Master of Science in Computer Systems Management

The aim of the MSc and Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Systems Management is to impart the skills and understanding required to manage complex computer systems as part of the support services of an organisation. This will include the selection, installation, maintenance and support of a wide range of computing technologies and an understanding of currently recommended methodologies. As the pace of change in computer science and information technology is quite staggering, our taught postgraduate programmes draw very much on the strength of the research activities carried out by academic staff.
