The Graduate Certificate of Information Systems is to provide a professional qualification in information systems and prepare students to apply their professional knowledge and skills in IS within an industry of their choice. The course focuses on preparing students for continuing professional development and further study towards a professionally oriented Master’s degree in information technology or information systems.
