BSc in Information Systems Management (Combined Honours)

BSc Information Systems Management

This programme is a particularly good choice for Combined Honours students who do not want to get over-involved in the technical aspects of computing such as programming but do want to build a computing skill-set that is attractive to employers.

Computing now has a social dimension, as well as an affinity with business and science. Hence, it blends well with a wide range of subjects including Business, Journalism, Media, Law, Sociology, Health, Psychology and various Sciences.

Graduates from this programme will be able to exploit web and mobile technology, and the advanced features of office software. They will be able to analyse requirements and develop and support models and applications in a wide variety of contexts. They will be professionals with strong problem-solving and ideas-generation skills.

No matter what career aspirations you have, your prospects will be enhanced if you can offer the knowledge and skills this programme develops in you. Within the domain of computing the jobs you might expect to become include Information Solutions Developer, Application Developer, User Support Manager or Information Systems Manager - key roles in modern organisations.
