Information Systems Major
Honours in information systems provides graduates with the analytical and consulting skills for solving problems (or performing research) in a variety of areas in the IT sector.
The aim of the honours course is not to cover the full breadth of IT, but rather to introduce you to the cutting edge in selected areas of research and practice. It provides an opportunity to become actively involved in the research carried out by members of the school, as you will undertake an independent research project in a specialist area of information systems, under the supervision of an academic staff member who is expert in your selected area.
The school's research in information systems encompasses natural language processing, IT economics, social networking analysis, ontologies design, data mining and knowledge management and open source software.
