Master Information Technology Management (M.A.)

IT is the engine of the economy. And the regulatory requirements are increasing as well. There is a need for capable managers who are up to the challenges both economically and technically. With your master's degree in Information Technology Management, you can start out as a manager in IT coordination, IT organisation, IT management or IT application consulting. In addition to internal IT departments, potential employers include software manufacturers and computer retailers, IT consultancies, auditing firms and insurance companies. You can become, for example:

Your Bachelor's degree is only the beginning if you want to make a career as a manager later on. For many companies, a solid foundation of specialised knowledge is only sufficient for certain professions. A highly qualified and internationally recognised Master's degree is particularly worthwhile for you if you want to take on responsible tasks at a higher management level later on or even sit in the executive chair. However, the additional effort required for a Master's degree is not only worthwhile in terms of your career prospects. You can also specialise, deepen your knowledge and gain valuable experience and contacts abroad. Your future employers will reward all of this with praise in the application process, managerial positions and a starting salary that is up to 20 percent higher.     

The focus of your Master's degree in Information Technology Management at IU International University of Applied Sciences is clearly on the management of medium-sized and large IT organisations. As a future manager, you will acquire both comprehensive IT knowledge and profound management skills. In addition to international IT law, this also includes cyber risk assessment and management. You will deal intensively with the basics of hardware and software as well as networks. Building on this, you will work on management frameworks and the basics of creating IT strategies. Depending on your career aspirations, you’ll be able to specialise in one of the areas of IT governance & compliance or IT service management. 

IT is the engine of the economy. At the same time, regulatory requirements are increasing. What is needed, therefore, are capable managers who are up to the challenges both economically and technically. In other words, they have to manage the construction, administration and maintenance of networks and, at the same time, use their economic knowledge to ensure the optimal efficiency of the systems. Accordingly, as a graduate with a Master's degree in Information Technology Management, you’ll later be able to take off in a leading position - be it as an IT manager, an IT security manager or an IT project manager. Possible employers include in-house IT departments, software manufacturers and system houses, IT consultancies, auditing firms and insurance companies.
