BSc Information Systems and Management

Aims of the Programme

The degree programme provides part-time courses of study to meet the changing educational, cultural and training needs of adults who are engaged in earning their livelihood, and others who are able to benefit.

The programme philosophy is that computing and information systems concepts and practice have to be complemented by organisational and management concepts and practice in order to be effective. The programme provides students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in both areas, enabling graduates to contribute to the effective development and exploitation of information systems and technology in companies, organisations and society as a whole.

It is recognised that today's skills are often transitory, especially in computing and information systems. Therefore the programme strikes a balance between learning current skills and emphasising the underlying theories which justify the choice of one skill set rather than another. The fundamental theories are longer lasting than particular skills and provide a sound basis for understanding and evaluating new developments in computer science and information systems.
