About this course
You’ll acquire valuable transferable skills such as presentation and report writing. We can help develop your skills as an information systems leader.
If you have little or no relevant work experience, the standard course is for you. If you’re more experienced, you should take the Professional Enhancement Programme.
The Professional Enhancement Programme is designed for experienced professionals. The emphasis is on helping you re-evaluate the way you work in the context of new and emerging ideas.
As an experienced professional, you’ll take fewer core modules than students who are starting from scratch. This leaves you free to choose more optional modules, so you can focus on what’s most relevant to you in your job.
You’ll need at least a good 2:2 in any subject. Relevant work experience is an advantage but we’ll give consideration to candidates without experience.
If you don’t have a first degree, but you have other qualifications and relevant work experience, you may be able to take the PGDip or PGCert.
