BSc Information Systems and Management

Content and Module Outlines

The Bachelor of Science in Information Systems and Management is an interdisciplinary degree taught jointly by the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems (DCSIS) and the Department of Management. The degree programme has been running since October 1993.

Please pay particular attention to the coursework requirements of each module and ensure that you complete the coursework. This contributes from 10-25% of the overall marks for the module (the weighting for each module is shown in the Programme Handbook) and can make the difference between passing and failing. Every year there are students who have to retake modules that they might have passed had they submitted the coursework. Make sure you are not one of these! In addition to contributing sometimes vital marks, coursework is designed to enable you to consolidate your learning and get feedback on your progress with a module. Please take advantage of this to give yourself the best possible chance of success.
