The course is designed to help you align technology with organisational priorities, evaluate emerging technologies, lead technology-enabled change, work across business and technical teams, and design solutions to complex enterprise challenges.

The UTS Online Executive Master of Technology Management is a 72-credit-point course comprising 12 subjects before any approved Recognition of Prior Learning is applied.

Current course information includes core study in Digital Strategy: Aligning Business and Technology, Building Enterprise Agility and the Innovation Studio capstone, with elective study across areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data ethics, data visualisation, cybersecurity, databases, Python programming, technology and innovation management, and leading people and change.

It is designed for experienced technology professionals and focuses on technology strategy, leadership, innovation and enterprise transformation. It is not an Executive MBA.

If you do not meet the current Executive Master entry requirements, UTS Online identifies other technology-management study options that may be more appropriate.

These include the Master of Technology Management, Graduate Certificate in Technology Management and Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence Management. The right pathway depends on your previous qualification, professional experience and study goals.
