Summary
In a world reshaped by relentless technological change, MSc Information Systems and Digital Business Innovation equips you to thrive in a digital-first economy. The programme’s forward-looking curriculum fuses emerging trends in information systems, digital innovation, and strategy. You will develop the skills and insight to guide both established and digital-native organisations through change.
You can deepen expertise through two specialised tracks: Digital Marketing or Cyber Security.
When it’s time to showcase what you’ve learned in your final assessment, you can choose to craft a digital start-up plan, deliver a live consulting project, or pursue a classic research dissertation. Workshops, case studies, and simulations enable you to translate theory into action, so you will be ready to create value from the day you graduate.
Unmatched industry integration You will turn insight into impact every week: - hands-on labs crafted with IBM anchor your experiential learning
-
research round-tables unpack the freshest AI and security breakthroughs
-
a rotating roster of speakers from Google, AWS, and scale-ups translates those discoveries into real-world action.
Collaborative hackathons and case competitions, run in collaborative spaces such as the University’s new Data Immersion Suite, give you a safe space to test emerging ideas with practitioners before taking them to market.
You will experience learning sessions delivered through SAP’s ERPsim, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) simulation. With ERPsim, you compete in teams to run virtual companies for profit.
Almost every core module carries a live brief supplied by regional or global partners.
Beyond the classroom, our partnership network, including the IN4 Group’s CyberFirst initiative, offers placements, hackathons, and mentoring that plug you directly into the North-West’s fast-growing digital economy.
A springboard for entrepreneurs Lancaster’s Research and Enterprise Services offers seed-funding competitions, legal drop-ins and hot desk space through Work in Progress. Many students progress straight from the programme into accelerator cohorts hosted on campus, groups of startups participating in a business accelerator programme. Ventures launched by this programme’s alumni include AI-driven agri-tech, social-commerce platforms and data-ethics consultancies.
