About
Information systems are a critical part of an organisation’s IT infrastructure. IT professionals, who can manage information resources, understand the technology and systems, are key to successful modern enterprises.
This programme is strategically positioned to enable students to undertake information systems research that is theoretically and methodologically rigorous, and enables them to develop the capability to plan, organise and carry out research studies at master’s level. It extends student's knowledge of research in the chosen area, and builds skills in communicating research work.
On successful completion of the programme, the graduates will also be awarded with a degree from Lancaster University. They will be awarded two certificates, making them graduates of both Sunway University and Lancaster University.
