MSc in Technology Management
Course Overview
The MSc in Technology Management at the London School of Computing and Engineering is a Level 7 postgraduate degree running one year full-time or two years part-time. The programme sits within the Technology Management and Professional Studies department and blends strategy, delivery and governance content mapped to UK reference frameworks such as APM, PMI, PRINCE2 and MSP, alongside the CMI leadership standard. Modules combine seminar-led theory with live case studies drawn from UK engineering consultancies, public-sector transformation programmes and product firms operating out of central London.
By graduation you will have led a substantial dissertation or sponsor consulting project, sharpened your commercial reasoning, and produced evidence you can shape a technology roadmap, take a portfolio through governance, and defend investment cases in front of a UK executive audience. You will also have completed structured leadership work covering stakeholder alignment, board-level reporting and the difficult trade-offs between speed, cost and quality that senior UK technology leaders make every week.
The programme runs in three phases across the academic year. Phase one covers foundational modules in technology strategy, portfolio economics and organisational change, assessed by short applied briefs. Phase two deepens into specialised electives such as digital transformation, engineering leadership, sustainability governance and technology-driven innovation. Phase three focuses on the dissertation or sponsor consulting project, running alongside a professional-practice module. Assessment is deliberately portfolio-heavy so graduates leave with a body of work suitable for senior UK interviews and internal promotion cases.

Why Study at LSCE
The London School of Computing and Engineering is a specialist division of Harold International College of London. Cohorts are small, tutors are visible weekly, and the careers-service contact book is grounded in London's engineering consultancies, defence primes, transport engineering practices and fintech clusters within a short tube ride of the classroom. LSCE takes UK professional-body alignment seriously, which means the credentials students leave with are read and understood by hiring panels in the City, in Whitehall delivery groups and across the engineering practices clustered around Silicon Roundabout.
Students on the MSc in Technology Management typically attend IET Young Professionals sessions, APM chapter events and CMI London seminars during their programme, and can elect additional modules from across the wider Harold International College catalogue subject to availability. Distance and online students receive the same tutor visibility and cohort access as on-campus peers, with GPU and lab provisioning where a module requires it, and the same named programme-tutor relationship throughout the programme.
