Subjects taught
Information Technology (IT) Management insights are developed through a series of modules exploring how to manage IT and create value from IT using knowledge from the expertise of the IVI. IT creates value within a wider context of both the business itself and the wider world, thus we also provide modules on functional and organisational (e.g. finance, HRM, organisation theory, strategy, marketing amongst others) aspects of business. Learning from modules is applied in practice through a business research project-dissertation.
Application date
All applications should be made through the PAC system.
Course fee
In general, there are two levels of fees payable. EU students from EU countries including Ireland pay a subsidised level of fees for both taught courses and research programmes. Tuition fees for students from outside the EU are not subsidised and are thus somewhat higher than for EU students.
