Information Systems and Information Technology

Description

Information systems (IS) are the mechanisms that drive the innovations that are enabling people and organisations to be more creative and productive. In the last decade the explosion in Internet-based information systems has transformed the way we shop, conduct financial transactions, plan holidays, keep in touch with friends, search for jobs and staff, create and share information and much more.

Organisations are always looking for business graduates who understand the technical issues surrounding and impacting their business information systems. Studying Information Systems will provide you with specialist skills essential in developing and implementing information technology solutions for business. Careers for our graduates include:

• Business Consulting
• Forensics and intelligence
• New Product/Service Development
• Internet Entrepreneurship
• Systems Development
• Communications and networking
• Information Systems Security
• Project Management

A career in Information Systems not only provides job flexibility and great earning potential but the opportunity to make a difference in the world of technology
