Increasingly, professionals in industry are expected to have a broad range of information technology and business skills. They are also expected to cope with the challenges posed by the latest trends in the software industry, such as remote and collaborative working, standardisation of technologies, and outsourcing. We offer a range of postgraduate and post-experience diploma modules with case-study-driven learning, which provide extensible knowledge that can be applied to lead technological and organisational change in the business environment.
