Information Systems MSci

The MSci is what is known as an integrated Masters award, which is where you begin an undergraduate course, but instead of completing it with a BSc (Hons), you do an extra year of study at level 7 (Masters level).

Integrated Masters are recognised by employers and the computing profession as adding value beyond the normal BSc.
The MSci Information Systems aims to lay the foundation for successful graduates to become the future technical leaders and innovators within computing and is ideal if you want to combine current academic knowledge and skills in information systems with leading industry practice. The additional embedding of the SAP Business Suite within the curriculum means that you’ll be suited to a wide range of careers within the public and private sectors when you graduate.
This course will help you to develop the skills you need to understand business, communicate effectively with others, organise, plan and develop computer systems. It introduces the SAP Business Suite and the concepts of enterprise application software.
