I think you;d be better off asking those schools for this information, rather than an MBA website. I assume that most graduates from those MSc programmes do not go directly into management positions.

Thanks Duncan.

But as far as course content is concerned, which has a better scope in the future ?

Manchester business School for MSc Information systems : e-business technology

Warick business school for MSc Information Systems Management and Innovation.

Hard to tell. The Warwick programme is certainly better presented. I think Henley and Lancaster have similar programmes.

I personally believe Warwick has a better brand value than Manchester.

Warwick has a better brand value definitely.
But I am a little more concerned abt the course content.
pls suggest

I think you would be the best person to judge the course content being an IT candidate. But what are your expectations from MSc in IT Management course ? and do you have any work ex in IT?

Sorry i missed your previous post. Since you have 2 years of work exp, I would suggest that you wait for another 1-2 years and go for an MBA program instead of going for an MSc in IT Management and it may not suite your profile.

Duncan - do you dislike Warwick? Do you feel as they do not deserve the reputation they have established?

Dude, I am just asking a question.

Hi Duncan

The award is the Matrix Award which is a quality standard for advice and guidance services. Details of the standard are available at http://www.matrixstandard.com/. Our last inspection was in May 2011.

Hope that helps.

Dude, when you do a technical course, make sure that you do technical stuff. This degree involves a lot of writing and i would imagine a career in technical column of local publishers would be more suitable. Else you can write novel or blog in nowadays fashion.

Choose the course that you need to you proper programming and maths.

Thanks for the link wbsmasters. This award is an accreditation which is held by 98 university-sector careers service organisations in the UK, the vast majority. I had misunderstood, and had wondered if it might be either an award for business school careers services, or an exclusive award given to only to outstanding careers services. It doesn't really seems to be worth mentioning if almost every university has this accreditation.

@wbsmasters
May i ask in what field did those students get a student ?
As in , what would their designations/positions have been after post-graduation at Warwick ?

<blockquote>Hello,
I am unable to make up my mind , which to got ahead with.
I have 2 yrs of work exp as a software developer.

Please let me know how are the career prospects for each and what type of jobs can I expect as an information systems manager and as e-business manager.
Please advice.
Thank you for your time and patience.

Kind Regards,
