Information systems

Why study information systems?

Business relies heavily on the use of information systems - that is, the specific software used to store data records.

Established in response to strong industry demand, this course aims to give you a thorough understanding of information technology tool and specialist knowledge in management, marketing or accounting. It offers you the opportunity to develop a mixture of skills in the two complementary areas of information systems and business/management.

You will study various information processing techniques and how to use them efficiently to manage large-scale businesses and resources. You can also choose from various electives to tailor your studies to meet your individual interests.
