Information systems questions

Ask us a question
How is information systems different from computer science?

Information systems emphasises the use of technology and information in organisations. Computer science generally places more emphasis on computation and software foundations. Individual programmes overlap, so compare the actual curriculum and assessment.

Is this a business or a technical study interest?

It sits between the two. Ask admissions about the balance of business analysis, systems, data and technical work in a confirmed programme, and what prior computing knowledge is expected.

How do I confirm programme availability and fees?

Use the enquiry form to ask for current written programme details: the qualification and awarding organisation, entry requirements, fees, delivery format and available intakes. This subject guide is not an enrolment offer.
