Opleiding: Executive Master of IT Governance and Assurance

Learning purpose

Information Technology (IT) has become pervasive in current dynamic and often turbulent business environments. An increasingly educated and assertive set of stakeholders is concerned about the sound assurance and governance of IT, focusing at how business benefits can be realized out of IT-enabled innovation and how IT related business risks are managed.

Despite the multitude of models and frameworks available in the professional domain around concepts as IT Governance, Management and Assurance, organizations also face the challenge of putting these ideas into practice. Because there are obviously no simple solutions, many organizations are looking for advanced expertise grounded in research.

To meet this demand, the Antwerp Management School and Maastricht University School of Business & Economics have established a unique partnership to offer a state-of-the-art executive master in IT governance and assurance.

Both large and small organizations are looking for IT governance and assurance professionals, who understand and can establish and evaluate the leadership, organizational structures and processes that ensure that IT sustains and extends the enterprise's strategies and objectives. These professionals require in-depth knowledge regarding IT governance and assurance and the capacity to integrate IT governance within overall enterprise management and governance.

The objective of this program is to educate next generation leaders in IT governance and assurance. The content of this master program proceeds from where the applied research of the Antwerp Management School – IT Alignment & Governance (ITAG) Research Institute, Maastricht University School of Business & Economics and its international research partners leaves off, with the goal of offering sustainable, innovative and well founded concepts with proven practical applicability.
