Global Information Technology Management (GITM) master's degree programme focuses on linking information technology (IT) and organizational processes. The tight link between IT and organisational processes means creative and innovative cooperation between various organizational units, in order to get more value from IT and increase its organizational competency.
Information and information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly an integral part of products and services as well as the foundation of business processes. Therefore, organisations must know how to make the right choices with respect to new IT-related innovations and, at the same time, ensure that existing business processes continue to receive high quality service from IT.
Information Systems Science has offered this GITM programme since 2003. All teaching is given in English. The purpose of the GITM programme is to train professionals to work in information resources management in international enterprises and in international project environments within the ICT-enterprises. The programme prepares students with a background in business and/or information technology or computer science, in order to become “hybrid” managers at the interface between IT and business functions.
The GITM programme is part of the Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS) Master's School, while the student will be a student of Turku School of Economics (TSE), where most of the courses take place.
