What Amanda Browne says about choosing the B.Sc. in Business Information Systems:

I chose this course because it offers a balance of business and technology subjects. I was interested in computers but I didn’t want to do a straight computer course. I researched the course and I decided it was perfect for me. It had the business side and the technology side.

In business, we do Economics, Accounting, and Business Organisation and Management while on the technology side we do web development, database systems and computer programming. We also learn how to connect the two, how to make the two work together. We learn how to use technology in a business environment.

What Barry Dolan says about the work placement:

We have a work placement in third year for 8 months where we actually go into industry and put what we’ve learnt in class into proper use. In January, I’m going into Intel in Dublin and it will be a fantastic opportunity for me to use what I have actually learned. Hopefully it can then lead to future employment or something like this because sometimes with the Professional Experience Programme the company often decides if they would like you for future employment.

What Mark Gantly says about employers view on Business Information Systems graduates:

This unique combination of skills sets a Business Information Systems graduate apart from those whose skills are primarily technical.

We look for this unique combination of skills: this mixed background makes a Business Information Systems graduate very attractive to today's employers, both large and small companies. The skills will also proof invaluable to those who may have ideas to create business opportunities of their own in the future.

Our lecturers all know us by name, it’s that small a course.
