The Information Systems department has set its goal to be nationally
recognised in providing excellent education, innovative research and quality
consultancy. There is currently an urgent need in our society for graduates
with education and experience in Information Systems and opportunities for
professionals trained in state-of-the-art information technology. The
Information Systems department aims to be foremost in the country to produce
graduates with formal preparation in information systems through our
combination of theory, practice and educational programmes. This is
evidenced through our strong relationships with the practitioner community
such as Oracle, SAP and Tenaga Nasional Berhad.
We offer depth and breadth through educational programmes at bachelors,
masters and doctoral levels, and conduct collaborative research and
consultancy partnerships that spans technical, organisational, social and
user aspects of ICT. The department is continuously active in developing
synergistic relationships with industry to develop and advance research in
information technology and its application.
What is Information Systems?
Information systems are combinations of hardware, software, and
telecommunications networks that people build and use to collect, create,
and distribute useful data, information, and knowledge, typically in
organisational settings. Organisations use information systems for a variety
of reasons: to gain competitive advantage, reach more customers, or improve
service.
What is an Information Systems (IS) Professional?
The term IS also refers to the field comprising those who design, develop,
use, manage, and study information systems in organisations. It is important
to recognise that nearly every industry, not just computer hardware and
software companies, relies heavily on IS professionals.
What are Typical Careers for Our Graduates?
The IS field includes people in organisations who design and build systems,
those who use these systems, and those responsible for managing these
systems. An array of career opportunities are available, including: systems
analysts, systems programmers, systems operators, business analysts,
database administrators, and systems managers. And, perhaps for some, chief
information officer!
