Specialisation in Information Systems
Students will learn how to design, develop and maintain large systems for the indexing and retrieval of all kind of information, from database records to textual information or multimedia and Web hypermedia (images, video, etc). An ICT professional requires nowadays a mix of technical know-how comprising skills such as project management, information architecture, and human-computer interaction. This specialisation is designed to address these gaps and to educate ICT professionals to play a leading role.
