Course Overview

The MSc in Technology Innovation is a UK Level 7 postgraduate degree running across one year full-time or two years part-time, delivered on-campus in central London, fully online or by distance learning. It is designed for learners entering technology innovation through a UK-recognised route, and it is calibrated around leading and researching technology-driven innovation programmes across UK organisations. The programme is aligned with the standards of BCS, the Institute of Coding, the IEEE Computer Society UK chapter, the Linux Foundation and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, and it feeds into senior UK roles, chartership routes and doctoral study.

By the end of the programme you will hold a working portfolio in technology innovation, produced through structured coursework, applied projects and continuous tutor feedback. You will be able to explain and defend your decisions in front of UK sector reviewers, work confidently with the tooling used across UK employers, and step into the next stage of your career or study with an evidence base rather than a bare transcript that is recognised by UK academic and professional bodies.

Key Features

The MSc in Technology Innovation sits at the corresponding UK level and is structured tightly around leading and researching technology-driven innovation programmes across UK organisations, with each teaching block anchored in a substantive artefact rather than an examination alone.
Curriculum aligned with the standards of BCS, the Institute of Coding, the IEEE Computer Society UK chapter, the Linux Foundation and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, refreshed each year against sector guidance and UK employer expectations in technology innovation.
Applied labs and coursework use roadmapping software, portfolio dashboards, Miro, lean-experimentation templates and research toolkits throughout the taught stage, with realistic problems set from live UK working practice.
Weekly tutor-visible seminars led by working London practitioners in technology innovation, so the working vocabulary matches what you will use in a UK role.
A named programme tutor is available for one-to-one clinics, feedback and career coaching across every teaching block of the programme.
Three delivery modes share the same intake cohort, seminars and assessment brief, so mode of study is never a barrier to full participation in technology innovation discussion.
Structured writing, documentation and review workshops embedded across the programme, so evidence of technology innovation practice is produced continuously across every stage.
