Degrees

Undergraduate degrees:
We offer a range of undergraduate courses that examine the role of computers and information technology in modern organisations. The focus of the IS Major is on organisational information, and the philosophy of the programme is to provide students with knowledge and skills in the effective and efficient design, delivery and use of information systems, together with an awareness of the continuing developments in the field of information technology and its impact on organisations and society.

Postgraduate degrees:
The information environment is moving fast. As the workplace and marketplace undergo rapid change to adapt to and exploit new technologies, today's top information professionals need much more than just technical knowledge to move with the changes. Certainly they need to be steeped in the fundamentals of information systems, but they also need the vision to make the right decisions - the research background to be able to dig deeper, see further, anticipate developments, and set in place frameworks to make the most of them.
