These skills are developed through an introduction to data modelling, relational theory, database design, and the management of databases. The Internet is a network of networks that is revolutionising business, work and play. It provides access to email, voice services, video on demand and distributed games. This course explores the operation of the Internet, from the representation and transmission of information to network architectures, to applications and network security protocols. Other topics include: wide area networking devices, technologies, and standards, Internet addressing, TCP/IP protocols, router components and configurations, routing protocols and network troubleshooting. Web developers require solid technical skills to make the most of the opportunities provided by the internet as a platform. Students learn to design, build and maintain interactive, feature-rich, database-driven websites. Students gain practical skills in using industry standard client-side and server-side technologies to solve business problems. Explores issues of information and process modelling, user interface design and the selection of tools and components in designing systems in a very practical and interactive way. Advanced techniques in user interface design, object and architecture modelling and further analysis and design methods are explored in depth using state of the art modelling and development environments. Examines cross-functional integrated computer-based information systems, known as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, designed to support an organisation's information needs and operations. Considers issues associated with the selection, analysis, design, implementation and configuration of such systems. Investigates transaction processing, management information and decision support across an organisation's business processes. Explores the characterisation of problems, in terms of process and information models. Business operations depend critically on the effective and efficient operation of information technology and telecommunication systems. A disciplined management approach to routine business system operations is a key success factor for IT managers. To deal with the numerous operational issues and potential problems effectively, systematic techniques are required in complex environments. Develops an understanding of different decision levels and practical problems organisations face and technological trends and through the study of decision theory, decision systems development and enabling technologies. The study is complemented by the application and critical evaluation of methods and technologies in the decision-making path in current business scenarios. To deepen students' understanding of how digital networks operate. Exposes students to a range of different networking technologies. Topics include wide area networking devices, technologies, and standards, Internet addressing, TCP/IP protocols, router components and configurations, routing protocols and network troubleshooting. An in-depth study of the managerial and technical aspects of database systems giving an essential foundation for a career in information systems. Database programming is taught so that students have a well grounded appreciation of database as the core of such systems. The most recent and emerging database technologies are studied to provide solutions in industrial and commercial settings. Information Systems (IS) research improves the process and the product of software development through the application of systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable engineering principles, techniques, and tools. Students to undertake a rigorous examination of a specific IS topic, with an emphasis on the management, analysis and design and evolution of information systems. A detailed exploration of how digital networks operate. Provides exposure to a range of different networking technologies. Topics include LAN switching, VLANs and Spanning Tree Protocols, Wireless networks and security, IP Telephony, congestion control, quality of service issues for Internet protocols and improving network protocols. An overview of activities, methods, methodologies, and procedures related to establishing sound information security policies. Topics include: defining security requirements; security management models and practices; risk management; identification and authentication; access control; information security technologies and encryption techniques. Some key legal and ethical issues associated with the management of information security will be discussed. Industry sponsored internship. Through on-site development of an information system meeting the sponsor's requirements the course emulates activities of real world information systems designers. In the process of completing the projects, students will gain practical skills in group dynamics, oral communication, project management, and business behaviour.

Information systems are an essential part of the business world. Students examine how information technology is leveraged in organisations, aspects of information systems as they are used in organisations, gain an insight into how operations management concepts can contribute to the efficient running of a business, use of information systems for competitive advantage, computer hardware and software, IT infrastructures, business intelligence, electronic commerce, computer crime and forensics. An Information Technology (IT) professional must understand how IT systems are constructed and tested and how quality is assessed, in order to manage, develop or provide innovative business solutions. Business Systems Analysis introduces systems development process concepts and activities, with a strong focus on understanding the problem and solution through modelling. Managers and other knowledge workers find that many of their duties revolve around accessing, organising, and presenting organisational and external information. The ability to develop and use computer databases is becoming a critical skill that is required in many disciplines. These skills are developed through an introduction to data modelling, relational theory, database design, and the management of databases. The Internet is a network of networks that is revolutionising business, work and play. It provides access to email, voice services, video on demand and distributed games. This course explores the operation of the Internet, from the representation and transmission of information to network architectures, to applications and network security protocols. Other topics include: wide area networking devices, technologies, and standards, Internet addressing, TCP/IP protocols, router components and configurations, routing protocols and network troubleshooting.
