Course Description

Information Systems (IS) and Information Technology (IT) are widely diffused across contemporary organisations, and are increasingly driving and enabling profound changes in the ways we conceptualise how and where we work, and the nature of activities required to create efficient and effective organisational processes. IS/IT is thus critically important in terms of organisational efficiency, effectiveness, competitiveness, and indeed, sustainability.

The Graduate Certificate comprises four units of study and is designed as a contemporary and comprehensive study of the management issues associated with the successful deployment of information systems in organisations. It is primarily for students from a non-computing background, however, there are options which are relevant to people with substantial computing experience. The course focuses on the development of information technology knowledge and its application to work, management and technical skills.
