The programme is flexible allowing for a range of specialisations such as human-computer interaction. 
The MSc in Information Systems is designed for both non-technical and technical backgrounds. A central aim of this course is to ensure that all students gain the skills needed to participate in the design and critical evaluation of emerging technologies. 
The programme engages students primarily through lectures, online learning exercises and group work as well as individual assignments
