Single degree
This program is designed for graduates either with or without a background in information systems and aims to take those who enter it to a high and advanced level of competence in the discipline. Students without significant background in the area are taken through foundation topics in their first year of study, leading them into the second year which deals with more advanced material. Students who come to the program having studied information systems at undergraduate level, may be eligible for advanced standing in the program. In addition to the specified core courses, an extensive list of electives from which students may choose is designed to allow students to focus their study within the degree on those areas of particular interest or relevance to them.
