DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

Under-Graduate Programs

1. BSc IN COMPUTING AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS (BCIS):

 

Aims of the Course:

• There is increasing awareness of a gap of understanding and communication between technical computing specialists and business management. The former often do not understand business processes while the latter frequently lack awareness of the threats and opportunities brought by changing levels of computer systems use.
• A new breed of technically competent management, able to comprehend management requirements for the organisation in business terms and lead a team of technical professionals in providing Information Systems solutions that meet those needs, can span this gap.
• The BSc Computing and Information Systems is designed to help you become such a leader, but is by no means limited to such a vocational purpose, however valuable.
• The programme also provides a path to a variety of higher degrees that can further differentiate you in today's competitive employment scene.
