The MSc Business Information Systems course is designed for those who require a broad overview of business information applications and technical knowledge of applied programming, secure data communications, information management security, financial analysis, data modelling and management, professional project management and business data analysis.
The course covers research methodologies, including ethics, legal aspects and professional applications of business systems development. You will also develop skills in communication, problem solving and teamwork, all of which are invaluable to employers.
There is also a strong focus on the design and development of internet applications. You will have access to our state-of-the-art computer laboratories, which have more than 450 workstations, five servers, dedicated network, Linux and robotics laboratories, as well as an overall ratio of computers to students nearly twice the number recommended by the British Computer Society.
Research is used to underpin all aspects of this Masters course. By 2009 the department had attracted more than £5m of funding from UK and European funding bodies, and the research in the department is going from strength to strength.
Additionally, our Masters courses demonstrate a strong appreciation of industrial and real-life needs. The department has won a number of Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) placements with local companies and, in 2006, we launched the Academic into Business Computing centre (ABC) to provide computing students with work experience in a professional environment.
Assessment
The exact assessment strategy adopted for each unit will vary, however the overall philosophy of the assessment strategy is to ensure that you are able to make use of the knowledge that you have gained throughout its application to practical situations.
Therefore we make use of a wide variety of assessment methods including written examinations, practical coursework assignments, problem worksheets, presentations and viva voce (voice) examinations.
In addition you will be exposed to a number of different formative (non credit bearing) activities. The idea of this approach is to provide you with feedback that is meaningful, and that will allow you to address development areas, as well as understand where your strengths are.
The main assessments will be summative (credit bearing) but the feedback you receive from the formative assessments is designed to ensure you achieve your true potential.
You must have passed 105 credits before undertaking the MSc project.
