Intro
What you'll be doing
Candidates of our Full-time MA Digital Management programs are taken on a transformative journey to become a new kind of leader – one who is adaptive, collaborative and creatively driven, who can go beyond conventional thinking practices to create effective teams and business value.
This is a full-time Master’s program based at our Manchester or Stockholm campus for the first 6 months. There, you’ll learn with the help of a range of interactive talks, live project briefs, hands-on workshopping, team challenges and deep reflection.
The program is comprised of five practical group projects led by industry practitioners, and an independent Industry Research Project which can be completed from anywhere in the world.

Student Stories

Hyper Island taught me that digital is all about people
Maja lives a short distance away from the Hyper Island Stockholm campus in Hägersten. She is originally from Uppsala but moved to Stockholm for her bachelor degree in advertising and PR. Now she is studying our part-time MA in Stockholm.

A Learner’s Journey: Q&A with Eunice Hong
A Senior Designer at Proctor & Gamble and a part-time Masters student at Hyper Island shares her thoughts on her passions in the digital world.
It’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve made. Without the MA, I’d probably still be wondering why things are changing around me instead of being a part of them.
