Course programme
The study of information systems relates to how organisations and societies use and exploit new information and communication technologies (ICT). Emphasis is on the organisational and social aspects of the efforts organisations make in order to accommodate ICT, change their practices, and achieve benefits. This degree is likely to give graduates a distinct advantage within all kinds of public and private organisations. It is especially useful if you want to work for any of the software houses or in systems management, successful graduates could also consider a career in management consultancy specialising in IT and IS
This degree is particularly focused on how computers are used within business and administrative organizations. It is natural, therefore, to combine the study of information systems with the study of management.
