New education

Sweden's Uppsala University understands that leaders of the future need to be able to handle people as well as understand IT. Next autumn the university launches a new master programme for management, communication and IT.

"Management and leadership to a large degree centres on communication, and for this communication IT becomes a more and more important resource," the university writes in its presentation of the new course. It will run over two years and give 120 study points - equivalent of a master degree. 

The programme covers four subjects:

- Business economy

- Information systems

- Human-computer interaction 

- Media and communication studies 

The main idea is to link management, communication and IT. Tutors specialising in the four subjects will cooperate to provide a common perspective in important questions.
