Why do this course?
“Graduates will be armed with the skills and knowledge to critically address and manage the issues in their subsequent roles as systems or application designers or technical managers.”

Future information systems will be highly distributed, heterogeneous multimedia systems incorporating digital audio, video, text and graphics. Their interfaces will rely on many different forms of interaction and they will provide services that are available to users through wired and wireless networks. They will also have to meet stringent performance, reliability and safety requirements and must be developed rapidly to meet urgent business needs. With skills to address these important issues you will be an invaluable asset to many existing and emerging ICT companies and departments.
