Master of Science is a unique interdisciplinary post-graduate programme. This is a convergence of information technology and social sciences where students can join from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. The two-year course aims to develop professionals who have a sharp understanding of the digital ecosystem. After the completion of a 4 semester, students will be conferred with IIITB’s master’s degree in Master of Science. The first three semesters of the programme constitute academic coursework. During the fourth semester, a student can either take up an industry internship or academic research at the Institute and continue to write a thesis.

Accreditation is a process by which the quality of a programme is examined and certified normally by an external body of academics. It validates and certifies that academic processes practised within an institute are robust and relevant.
For any programme to be recognized for further studies or a profession it needs to be approved either by a University or/and by a professional council as the case may be.
