Course Overview

The BSc in Innovation and Technology Strategy is a UK Level 6 honours degree, normally three years full-time with part-time and accelerated routes covering the business-facing design and management of innovation programmes and technology portfolios. The programme concentrates on strategy frameworks, business-model canvases, technology roadmapping, portfolio management and change methods, and the syllabus is aligned with Association for Project Management (APM) guidance and reference materials from Project Management Institute (PMI). Delivery is available on-campus in central London, fully online with the same lab and tooling provisioning, or by distance learning, and every route joins the same intake cohort with weekly tutor visibility and named programme-tutor support.

By graduation from the BSc in Innovation and Technology Strategy you will be a graduate ready for junior consulting, strategy and product-manager tracks, with full honours-level breadth with a research-informed final year and industry placement demonstrated through a portfolio of coursework, applied labs and, at the closing stage, coursework, technical examinations, group project work and an individual final-year project. Every learner leaves the BSc in Innovation and Technology Strategy with a documented body of work suitable for UK employer conversations across consulting practices, product strategy teams, corporate venture arms and public-sector innovation offices, and with a clear progression route into the next step of the LSCE ladder. Coursework is scheduled around working professionals so that part-time and full-time routes share the same weekly seminar, the same assessment rubric and the same tutor group.
