Overview
Information systems are a key part of an organisation's IT infrastructure. IT professionals who can manage a business's information resources, and understand the technologies and systems that enable this are key to a modern enterprise's success.
This degree provides specialist focus on the technologies behind modern enterprise information systems, such as web applications and enterprise resource planning and how they are designed.
As this course shares a common first term with the degrees in Information Management and Information Systems and Technology you can decide on your area of focus once you are in a position to make an informed choice.
Your understanding of information systems technology, combined with your appreciation of the role of information in modern enterprises, will enable you to play a key role in the development of a business's information infrastructure.
Technically-oriented IS roles, such as systems architect, are found in banks, consultancies, pharmaceutical and other industries, central and local government, the education and health sectors, for example. The course is also excellent preparation for doctoral (PhD) study.
