Career Opportunities

Organisations worldwide are increasingly relying on information systems to assist in their work at an operational, tactical, and strategic level. There is a growing awareness that these systems are not simply technical in nature but are in fact socio-technical systems. 'Socio-technical' here refers to the need for an appreciation of both technical and human factors in the design, development and deployment of advanced computer-based systems.

There is an increasing recognition that the success of an investment in information systems requires that these human factors be addressed. As information systems become more pervasive their impact at a human level becomes more pronounced. This course equips students with the understanding of the issues that will prepare them for a career in information systems.

A graduate of this course will also be well equipped to pursue a research-oriented career in both Academia and Industry. The course is aimed both at new graduates and experienced professionals wish to obtain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the human factors associated with information systems in modern organisations.
