Information Systems is the study of the application and use of information technology - hardware, software, networks, and database - by individuals and organisations. The Department of Information systems is the University's newest department, founded in 1995 in recognition of the growing need to understand how information technology may be used in creative ways to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
The Department's teaching and research cover those IT and management topics that must be understood by any competent information systems professional. These topics are primarily technical, but include as well accounting, economics, and organisational analysis and change. In addition, the Department strives to foster and encourage the ability to earn and re-learn, a necessary trait for career success in this rapidly changing field.
