    Course Summary

    A BSc in Computer Information Systems for Business from Bangor University could be your first step into an exciting career in one of the world’s most rapidly growing specialties. This is a new variant of Bangor’s exiting CIS degree, with a stronger focus on business applications. Essentially, you’ll be learning to adapt and implement software in a commercial and/or industrial context.

    You’ll of course study the core concepts of computer science as well as related specialties such as data base architecture, media and display technologies, artificial intelligence, BIM (Business Information Systems) and the art and science of systems administration. You’ll even be able to build a computer network for yourself in the university’s new, highly specialised Network Laboratory.

    By the time you graduate, you’ll not only be able to implement information systems, you’ll be able to understand what factors drive future trends in the industry in order to help ‘future proof’ the systems you build, adapt and implement.

    Career Possibilities

    The School of Computer Science has an excellent graduate employability rating. Much of this is due to the school’s reputation among potential employers, but the truth is that computer science graduates are in such short supply, in the UK and the world over, that most employers simply can’t find enough, The reputation of the school does, however, help graduates quite a bit when they compete for the most desirable of these roles.

    Entry & Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 3 year BSc degree.

    Applicants must typically have earned at least 80 tariff points from any Level 3 Qualification. This might include A Levels, BTEC, Irish Highers, or many others. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.
