gy206 b.sc. in business information systems

welcome from the programme director

Welcome to the website for the BIS degree and to the BIS Group of the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics. My mission, as director of the BIS degree, is to provide our students with a 1st class educational experience in the exciting field of Business Information Systems.

Our 4 year programme is delivered by a dedicated team of experienced and research-active teaching faculty. In addition, to the broad range of business and technology subjects, our programme offers you the opportunity for a semester of study abroad in second year and all students engage in our professsional experience programme during 3rd year. These features, coupled with our inter-module assessment, final year project and industry engagement programme, provide you with every opportunity to enhance your educational experience. To find out more continue reading below or watch this short video for a good insight into life on BIS at NUI Galway.

The programme is hosted in the recently constructed €16 million extension to the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics. Located in this facility are three computer suites, a seminar room and a collaborative learning facility that are dedicated entirely to the BIS programme. These facilities are equipped with the latest technology, both hardware and software, and rival the facilities of any comparable degree worldwide. In fact, in summer 2009 we invested in excess of €120,000 in the development of the collaborative learning facility.

The BIS group maintains very active links with industry and the programme benefits from the guidance of an Industry Advisory Board whose members consist of senior managers from leading indigenous and multi-national companies. This ensures that the skill, knowledge and methodologies you learn are consistent with current industry requirements.

During your studies of BIS at the J. E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics you will become part of the BIS family. BIS classes are small and over the years of your degree you will have the opportunity to develop a relationship with the BIS group that is quite personal and unique. By graduation, you will feel a close affinity to the BIS Group and hopefully you will maintain contact with us after graduation. Read what our current students say about BIS at NUI Galway.

Our graduates continue to secure degree related employment and for those of you who at graduation are not yet ready to join the workforce, we offer an extensive range of post-graduate opportunities.
