Overview
The course is an add-on Honours program, intended to follow on from either the BBIS or the BIT.
Students successfully completing this course will have a good understanding of the research process and will have applied that process to a small but significant research project. They will also have studied a number of coursework subjects, predominantly in the area of IS and IT management. This will significantly extend the skills developed in their undergraduate degree.
Successful graduates will be ideally qualified to follow one of three paths:
1. continue in academia, most probably via a PhD or research masters degree or
2. enter industry and work in research and development or
3. enter industry and rapidly move into a minor management role.
