The Information Systems Key Program focuses on computing and information technology in the context of local, national and global business environments. In general, graduates work with organisations to design, develop, deploy and manage information systems through the application of computing technology. Using the knowledge gained in this course students will also work on a real-life project where they can design and develop an Information System to solve a problem selected from the community. Employment opportunities for graduates may include analyst, programmer, web developer, systems developer and systems architect. With experience graduates can progress to IS management positions.
