It examines how organisations may use and benefit from IT, and considers the role of new technologies in internet business and social media. These courses help graduates gain a broad understanding of the world of business. Thus they will be both 'business-savvy' and 'tech-savvy'. This mix of skills means that Information System graduates are well prepared to become business analysts and project managers, as well as software developers.
