The worlds of business and digital technology have become inseparable. Almost all organisations now depend upon business information systems (BIS) to control and manage their data, which means that the demand for graduates with technological proficiency and business know-how is at an all-time high. Studying BIS involves, among other things, learning how to design and build ICT systems, as well as understanding how to exploit the business opportunities provided by the ever increasing digitisation of society. To do this, we must develop an intricate understanding of how organisations work, the business processes that generate and consume information, the roles of people and working groups in these processes, and the efficiency of these processes.

The main goal of Higher Diploma in BIS is to prepare graduates for employment in an ICT-related business context. This course will introduce students to the principles, methods, tools and architectures used in the development and management of ICT. Upon graduating, course participants will be equipped to manage digital technology across all industry sectors and in a range of business functions.

The employment prospects for graduates of this course are extremely good. Graduates may take up positions as systems or business analysts, technology consultants, computer programmers, network administrators, in a range of business functions, including marketing, logistics, production, finance and general business administration.

Graduates of this course will be able to:

• Use a range of ICT skills and display mature literacy and comprehension of business, technology, and technology management subject matter that compares favourably with national and international peers.
• Identify, analyse and solve business, technology, and technology management problems in applied and other settings.
• Effectively manage the ICT resource in international contexts, and therefore demonstrate an understanding of the roles and management of ICT in organisations.
