Computer Information Systems program structure

At undergraduate level, you’ll study a BSc in information systems over three or four years, depending Bachelor’s degrees in computer information systems last at least three years, but most universities offer a four-year placement option. Industrial placements are valuable opportunities to put what you’ve learned into practice and explore future career prospects.

If the US is your dream study abroad destination, you’ll probably opt to major in CIS as part of your four-year undergraduate degree. After completing two years of liberal arts classes, you’ll concentrate on CIS-specific modules.

If you want to sharpen your skills in a particular strand of CIS, postgraduate qualifications are available. Master’s degrees can be studied across one or two years, with research-oriented PhDs adding a further four to six years on top.

Teaching is mainly delivered through lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical workshops, and computer laboratories. Assessment methods depend on module selections, but exams, reports, and project work are common.

Most institutions offer a range of elective modules, so customizing your degree to suit your interests is easy. However, you’ll still be required to take core units in the following areas:

  • Information systems management
  • Networking theory and practice
  • Foundations of programming
  • Web technologies
  • User experience and requirements
  • Systems administration and maintenance
  • Mathematics for computing
  • Computer security
