MSc Management of Information Systems and Digital Innovation

About

Introduction

Digital innovation is changing the way we create and share information – shaping new business models, governance methods and approaches to public engagement.

On this programme, you’ll examine the development and management of information, alongside emerging fields of study such as AI and big data analytics. You’ll study digital innovation in businesses and governments around the world, equipping you with the insights to become a leader in the field.

The degree has a strong practical focus. All students take part in the Sprint Week group project – which involves working on a real-life technology management consultancy project. Our alumni frequently cite this project as valuable preparation for their future careers.

Managers who have the skills to capitalise on new digital developments are in high demand. So, by the time you graduate, you’ll be well-prepared for many opportunities in management consulting, finance and other sectors.

LSE is ranked sixth in the world for social sciences and management. So, you’ll be studying in a globally renowned learning environment with world-leading academics.
