From overseeing a digital transformation project through to developing new software applications, you can play an important role in an organisation’s success.
Our MSc Digital and Technology Solutions Specialist Apprenticeship will equip you with leadership and change management skills to make a real impact. The course can be tailored to one of four specialisms: software engineering, network engineering, data analytics and cyber security.
Alongside core modules, you will cover the principles and practice within your specialist area and will also personalise your assignments to your own workplace. The final element of the integrated degree apprenticeship will be your dissertation project.
You will focus on designing strategic technology solutions, such as making networks more secure, developing scalable software, or using data mining tools to improve an aspect of company performance. It could involve identifying a need within your organisation and then testing or prototyping the solution.
The course is delivered over a 24-month period, with a mixture of face-to-face classes and online learning, combining academic study and a work-based context.
