Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Business Information Systems

​The professionally accredited Business Information Systems degree is designed to develop knowledge and expertise in the analysis, development and application of socio-technical systems, with a deep understanding of the importance of information technology and computing in society. Organisations are now, more so than ever, reliant on information systems to support day-to-day operations, design solutions to business challenges, and to inform on better decision making. This degree will teach students how to analyse business needs and develop technological solutions to meet these demands. Students will be exposed to industry relevant theories, cutting-edge technology and research and will gain a solid grounding in the theoretical foundations of information, technology and systems applied to modern business environments.

Learning will combine the latest research at Cardiff Met with professional input from both business and technology experts. Students will be working on the kind of real-world scenarios that they are likely to meet in the industry. To prepare them further for their future career, the course offers plenty of opportunities to learn by doing. Students will be able to engage in research centres and labs, undertake a placement year, or gain additional professional qualifications such as Tableau and Cisco certifications. Once they graduate, students will be ready to progress into a successful career as information technology consultants, business analysts, information systems specialists and more.
