Master’s Programme in Information Systems: AI Management, 120 hp
The Master’s Programme in Information Systems: AI Management prepares you to work at the intersection of technology, organisation, and leadership. The programme focuses on how AI can be used, managed, and critically evaluated as part of modern information systems. You will learn to analyse AI-driven change, design and assess AI-based solutions, and understand the ethical, social, and strategic consequences of using AI in business, public sector, and society.
This two-year, full-time Master’s programme is taught in English and given online. It is designed for students who want to deepen their knowledge of information systems, applied AI, and digital transformation, while developing the analytical and methodological skills needed for advanced professional roles or further research.
The programme welcomes applicants from different academic and professional backgrounds who share an interest in digital technologies and AI-driven change. A background in information systems, informatics, IT, or related areas is highly relevant, but the programme is also suitable for students and professionals from fields such as healthcare, policing, education, public administration, business, or other sectors where AI and digital technologies are reshaping everyday work.
Throughout the programme, you will study applied AI, data management, machine learning, large language models, agentic AI, AI project management, AI governance and AI-driven business development. The focus is not on developing new algorithms from scratch, but on understanding how AI technologies can be applied, adapted, evaluated, and governed in complex organisational contexts.
A central feature of the programme is its sociotechnical perspective. This means that AI is studied in relation to people, work practices, organisational structures, decision-making, regulation, and sustainability. You will explore questions such as: How can organisations create value with AI? How can AI systems be implemented responsibly? What risks arise when autonomous or semi-autonomous systems are introduced? How can AI support sustainable and inclusive development?
The programme uses problem-based and project-based learning. You will work with relevant tools and methods, including AI-supported development environments, data analysis tools, and platforms for applied AI. Courses combine theoretical perspectives with practical assignments, critical reflection, and research-based analysis.
Full-time at a distance
The programme is delivered fully online, with all course materials provided through the university’s learning platform.
The final term is devoted to a 30-credit Master’s thesis, where you investigate, design, or evaluate AI-based information systems in an organisational context.
Career Opportunities
After graduation, you will be prepared for roles such as AI strategist, digital transformation specialist, AI project manager, product owner, business developer, or analyst working with AI-based systems. The programme also provides a strong foundation for doctoral studies in Information Systems, Informatics, or related fields.
