The programme is designed to allow students to be able to harness and manage Information Technology and Information Systems to leverage business. Emerging technologies are evaluated so that recommendations are substantiated in relation to their contributions to the organisation's competitive advantage. In addition, implementation planning for enterprise level technology projects especially in enterprise knowledge management and enterprise resource planning will also be part of the programme.

The main objective of the programme is to empower students with a superb grounding on a mix of specific and broad range of business oriented subjects directly applicable to today's knowledge-based economy.

By the end of the programme, students will be able to:

• Analyse and apply the fundamental principles involved in managing in an Information Technology environment
• Be an effective 'hybrid manager' in applying IT to support business needs
• Critically evaluate technological developments and make informed recommendations on suitable technology adaptations for strategic advantage.
• Effectively lead and supervise the strategic technology transformation projects at an enterprise level

• Designed to meet the most current needs in industry
  This course is designed after much market research to determine the type of knowledge and skills needed by IT professionals to upgrade and make themselves valuable to their organisations. The 6 modules are carefully chosen to ensure students gain expertise in the professional management of technology within the organization to achieve strategic advantage.
• Has practical-oriented assessment strategies and no written examinations
  Since this course is targeted at IT/IS practitioners, it makes sense to design the course with 100% coursework assessment instead of requiring candidates to rote learn for exam purposes. This strategy enables students to appreciate the relevance of fundamental theories and principles to real-world problems at work.

  Facilitators are highly qualified in their subject areas and in tune with the best practices in the industry. They are also very experienced online facilitators, having done facilitation in various other online programmes.
