BCom Information Systems at University of the Witwatersrand

Programme overview

Information Systems are systems that allow individuals, organisations and societies to gather, store, organise, protect, retrieve, share and make sense of the information in their environments. The pervasiveness of technology in the knowledge economy has resulted in increasing demand for professionals with a unique blend of analytical, technical, business and communication skills. In Information Systems, we study what happens when technologies, people, organisations and societies interact.
