Data centres are fast-moving, complex businesses that need decisive, knowledgeable leaders. Our MA course aims to give practising data centre managers the opportunity to develop and advance their leadership abilities.

While our MA includes technical elements, it’s not designed to be a technical course. Rather, it takes broad-based contemporary business theory and applies it to data centre management to help you apply your learning effectively and immediately.

As all of our students continue to work while studying, you’ll have the opportunity to look at your current work and past professional experience to consider how you can apply what you’ve learnt in practice. Together we’ll analyse historical and contemporary management theory, giving you a firm understanding of how it’s evolved, while challenging current thought on business and leadership issues.

Consolidating the breadth of philosophical and theoretical concepts of leadership with the essential underpinning theories of change, risk management, finance, general management and human resources management, our MA programme offers you the opportunity to apply generic constructs to your own data centre workplace.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have the ability to consider, and then apply, leadership and management principles in a number of ways, in line with your organisation’s needs and external demands.
