Prepare for a Great Career

Employment opportunities in Information Systems on the rise, business want people who understand the application of computers within the commercial business environment.

Information technology has changed the way in which all business functional areas operate and it is difficult to think of many businesses today that do not rely on information systems. Employers are increasingly looking for students who can bring with them an understanding of computer / IT based information systems and how they can be applied to jobs in areas such as accounting, marketing, human resources, production, finance and general management. The academic content of the BCom information systems undergraduate degree program exposes students to organizational/business functions and their systems, the technologies that underlie these systems, the use of information systems to overcome business problems, and the process of information systems development, implementation and management within business. This is what distinguishes our courses from other IT-related courses. Adding the Information Systems major to an accounting or business major provides BCom students with the preparation they need to participate effectively in today’s information age organisation.
