INTRODUCTION

For most organisations, investment in Information Systems (IS)/Information Technology (IT) is now one of their largest capital investments, and is growing rapidly.  However, many managers doubt that they are receiving an appropriate return on their investment.  The rise of the Internet and the increase in Electronic Commerce bring with them additional challenges for today’s managers which need to be addressed if organisations are to benefit from these new technologies.

The Graduate Certificate of Business (Management Information Systems) aims to produce high calibre, professionally trained personnel who are capable of meeting the requirements of an evolving technological environment that reflects the very rapid rate of change in the role and pervasiveness of IS/IT in contemporary organisations.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

An undergraduate degree OR equivalent prior learning including at least five years appropriate professional experience.
