Programme Specification for Business Information Systems (Major, Joint or Minor)
Campus: Docklands
Why Study Business Information Systems as part of a Combined Honours Degree?
Computers and computer-based systems are essential to any organisation today. This programme enables you to learn how to design and implement information systems, how hardware and software work together to provide a platform for information systems, how information systems can be used in a business context, and how IT projects can be strategically managed and developed.
What will I study?
These programmes focus on the development of information systems, including their analysis, design and construction and how they can be used to meet business needs.
Which modules will I study?
You can view a full guide to the modules you have to study as part of your chosen pathway, along with a full range of option modules available by viewing the Single & Combined Honours Programmes Guide for Business Information Systems
Can I study a Combined Honours Programme as a Part-time degree?
All our Combined Honours Programmes can be studied on a Part-time or Full-time basis. As a Part-time student, you will study the same degree programme, but at a slower pace. You will study up to 4 modules per year (instead of 6 as a full-time student).
What career opportunities are open to me if I study Business Information Systems?
A background in computing would enhance your career opportunities if you wished to pursue a career that involved systems analysis, technical support, network design, database design and administration, software development or technology management. Graduates from these programmes may look towards careers in requirements analysis and in business computing.
Work Placement Opportunities
Opportunities exist for students following some of the Major Computing programmes to spend a placement year working with an organisation. This allows you to gain valuable experience in an area in which you may decide to develop your career, whilst establishing useful contacts.
