The Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) program is a two-year postgraduate course designed to equip students with knowledge and skills needed to become organizational and societal leaders who will acts as agents of change through the planning, development, and implementation of technology-based solutions. In the course of the program, students develop a rigorous understanding of organizations (business, government, as well as other organizational forms) along with deep technical skills. In this way, they are trained to be leaders who can harness ICT’s transformational role and bridge issues in the domains of both organizations and strategy.

The program seeks to connect and balance theory and practice. Students engage with relevant theories, and subsequently develop these further and apply these to real-life problems and issues. This is done in order for students to craft solutions that are meaningful and capable of addressing society’s complex problems. Program candidates are expected to understand and manage IT as multidimensional, socially shaped, and hence, often unpredictable. They are trained to develop critical thinking skills that are capable of embracing issues that are multifaceted and ambiguous. Candidates are also empowered to grasp and address the ethical dimensions that often underpin IT issues.
