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.
