If you have been made any offer, you should pay your deposit within the 21 day timeframe. This will guarantee your place on the programme. If you have a condition attached to the offer, and you do not meet this condition, we will reimburse you your deposit.
Q: When I apply, what should I put in my personal statement?
To help us to assess how suitable you are for this E-Business & Innovation programme, you should explain why you are interested in this field and what experience you have (academic and work) which specifically relates to your interest and makes you a suitable candidate.
Q: How is the programme delivered?
The taught modules are delivered in a variety of ways, using lectures, interactive workshops, lab work and even e-tutoring. Industry and academic guest speakers are invited to contribute to the delivery of many of the modules.
Q: How many students are on this programme?
The Msc in E-Business and Innovation programme typically recruits around 30 students each year. Students come from a variety of countries with a variety of backgrounds, which enriches the learning experience.
Q: Do I need to have specific computer skills to undertake this Masters?
Whilst some students will have done studies in Computing, this is not a requirement of the programme. We would however expect all students to have a good level of general computer skills, such as Microsoft Office, and be confident Internet users.
The focus of the programme is more on the organisational consequences of information technology than on the technology as such, but students can elect more technical modules in the second term.
