I've researched this quite a lot and there are quite a few e-business masters degrees available, You can even get an MBA in E-commerce. The Portsmouth seems is quite good - you can choose between majoring in Marketing or majoring in E-commerce.

Here are some more:

Hi Rob

That's what I found as well - nothing that really covered the topics I wanted. They were either very technical or overly theoretical, and not very topical.

Thanks Neil. It does look interesting, and the Cass module on Beyond e-business looks good - if only you could do it by distance learning! Certainly, though, building a CMS is a great feature of the course.
