Ø Background to the program and subject area:
Information Systems (IS) is one of the most important fields in information and computer technology. IS is considered a bridge between computer science specializations and organizational and administrative fields, whereby a student gains knowledge and acquires skills necessary to analysing, designing, developing and operating information systems and utilizing them in any type of public or private organizations.
The Master of Science in Information Systems has two tacks: Thesis and non-thesis.
Bachelor degree in one of the following areas:
•Computer Science (CS)
•Computer Networks
•Computer Information Systems (CIS)
•Software Engineering
•Business Information Systems (BIS)/Business Information Technology (BIT)
•Computer Engineering
•Information Technology
