The MSc in Electronic Commerce is the ideal postgraduate programme for graduates of business and computing degrees who are seeking to advance their careers in the growing ICT industry in Ireland and abroad. The one-year Masters programme is designed to produce the kind of e-business technologists, managers, entrepreneurs and innovators in greatest demand by the information economy. It does this by providing students on each stream with a powerful combination of technological and business skills of relevance to electronic commerce applications. A strong collaborative ethos across the business and technical streams is fostered through the extensive shared curriculum, interactive teaching modes and overall entrepreneurial and innovative orientation. Students on both streams take a core set of modules such as web design, business modelling and process innovation, information access and e-commerce infrastructure in the first two semesters. Students on the business stream take modules in advanced business topics as well as some fundamental modules in computing. Students with a technical background on the business stream take additional business modules in lieu of the fundamental modules in computing. Throughout the programme, students will be given the opportunity to apply their knowledge to real-world projects. This may involve running an online marketing campaign, researching a commercial opportunity or international market entry strategy, compiling a business plan or applying some other business process or toolset. Graduates have pursued a variety of careers in the information economy as managers, entrepreneurs, business analysts, e-marketing specialists and e-business technologists. Graduates have found work in specialist e-commerce organisations and in traditional industry which has begun to innovate its systems and processes to compete in the new economy. Other students have developed their entrepreneurial talents and have won awards for their work. The programme has been awarded the prestigious EPAS accreditation. The accreditation recognises the quality of alumni of the programme and their career progression, the market positioning of the programme nationally and internationally, the curriculum content and delivery system, the extent to which the programme has an international focus, its balance between academic and managerial dimensions, and the appropriateness of the faculty who deliver the programme.
