About Information Systems, MSc - at University of West London

Course summary

Overview
This course builds upon typical computing courses available at undergraduate level and develops new knowledge and skills in areas critical for the successful introduction of information systems into business enterprises and organisations.
These days, Information Systems (IS) are large, complex, varied in form and distributed, so they often serve large groups of people all using a variety of devices to access information.
The course also provides a route for peoplewith other backgrounds and experience to engage with the world of information systems. It will help you gain a full understanding of how information systems are designed and constructed, and of the impact of technology and its integration into an organisation.
It will also give you the skills you need to work effectively in a business-consulting environment and provide a solid basis for research.
Why choose this course?
Specialists who recognise diverse business needs and have a systematic approach to understanding the impact of technology on organisations are essential to the success of any IS/IT strategy.
Equal in importance to the architectures of systems and the supporting technologies, is the management and delivery of content, whether in the form of data, documents, images and sound.
Increasingly, the fundamental systems comprise digital architectures and networks which then embody and enable the distribution of digital content.
Students on the Information Systems course have access to laboratories and dedicated information and communications technology (ICT) suites as well as specialist networks and software.
