PG Cert in Commerce specialisation in Information Systems

A specialisation is a focused collection of courses within a programme that allows you to gain deep, targeted knowledge in a specific sub-field. Normally these courses make up more than 50 percent of a qualification, some of which lead to registration within a certain field. They may be interdisciplinary, professionally oriented, or designed to meet accreditation requirements. Specialisations often restrict elective choice in favour of a clearly defined study plan.

Completed specialisations will appear on your academic transcript.

Please see the main programme link below for further details.

Information Systems deals with the practical and theoretical problems of providing information to an organisation and its members using information systems. With a major or specialisation in Information Systems, you will learn how to apply information technology solutions to business problems.
Studying Information Systems will equip you to develop creative and innovative solutions to problems in government, businesses and non-profit organisations. These are skills that have value in virtually every sector of a modern economy.
