gy206 b.sc. in Business Information Systems

Welcome

Welcome to the BIS degree and to the BIS Group of the J.E. Cairnes School of Business and 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.

Business Information Systems(BIS) is a four-year undergraduate degree programme offered through the School of Business and Economics at NUI Galway. The programme examines, from a business prospective, the use and management of technology in modern business environments.

It mixes business subjects such as Accounting, Economics and Marketing with technology-focused subjects such as Databases,Systems Analysis and Networks. It also blends business and technology by providing knowledge and skills in traditional business organisations and management, together with skills and abilities in the enabling and underlying technologies upon which organisations are becoming more and more reliant.

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 international student exchange in second year and all students engage in paid industry internship 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.

The programme is hosted in the recently constructed 16 million euro extension to the J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics. Located in this facility are 4 computer suites and a seminar room 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. If fact, in summer of 2009 we spent over €150,000 updating the equipment in the BIS labs.

During your studies of BIS at the J. E. Cairnes School of Business and 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 long after graduation. Read what our current students say about BIS at NUI Galway in the included profiles.

Looking forward to welcoming you on the programme.
