MSc in Enterprise IT Management

This online professional course provides the perfect introduction to enterprise information technology (EIT) – helping you gain the skills to stand out in a rapidly growing sector.   The EIT Body of Knowledge (BOK) describes EIT “as the application of computers and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data, in the context of a business or other enterprise.” That’s why you’ll explore all aspects of enterprise IT design – such as software and service management, enterprise IT design and implementation, and risk management. The course is also focused on mapping EIT onto popular enterprise standards and models like ITIL, Agile and TOGAF.   You’ll cover a range of topics, including:

• how functional and non-functional requirements map onto EIT designs and processes 
• current and future challenges and opportunities in this field 
• the role of EIT in entrepreneurship and sustainability 

At the end of the course, you’ll have the opportunity to study one of our popular postgraduate computing courses.

The University of Essex Online delivers 100% online and part-time courses in business, computing, education, health, law, criminology and psychology. The qualifications we offer include CertHEs and Bachelors degrees at the undergraduate level, and PG Certs, PG Dips and Masters degrees at postgraduate level, with study durations ranging from 8 months to 4 years.
