 Information Systems and Information Technology

Description

Information Systems (IS) involves the planning, analysis, design and maintenance of computerised systems used to process information in commerce, industry, government and research organisations. Information Technology (IT) is the underlying mechanism that controls these systems.

Information Systems and Information Technology are indispensable to the operations of most modern organisations. In an information systems course, you will study how information systems are planned, analysed, designed, operated and managed.

Graduates often follow careers as programmers, analysts, business analysts, information technology specialists, data administrators, EDP auditors, e-commerce specialists and web managers.
