MSc - Computer Science and International Business (Robert Kennedy College)

Unlike an MBA, which is aimed at developing broader knowledge and understanding of various aspects of business operations, and is generally seen as the critical qualification for general management, an MSc is a more specialised qualification that focuses on a particular aspect of a business, such as operations or marketing. The MSc Computer Science and International Business acknowledges the major changes in approaches to operations, risk management and marketing driven by “big data”, and the related internet and computerised technologies, that support such evolutions, including AI or Machine Learning.

What you will learn

Today’s world is dominated by technology and the shift towards connecting objects, processes and people is at an all-time high. The key drivers for these changes have been the widespread adoption of computing systems and the Internet. As prices for technology have gone down with the spread of adoption, computers and networks have crept into all aspects of everyday life, be it at home or at work, creating a high demand for people who possess skills and knowledge required to drive businesses into the future. At the same time the Internet has opened global markets to even the smallest companies.
