Computing and Information Systems MSc

Advance your career as a business analyst, web designer or systems developer with our Master’s in Computing and Information Systems.

There is an increasing need within the computer science industry for professionals in business analysis, web design, system development and project management, as well as IT support and training. This MSc in Computing and Information Systems is designed to meet those needs.

You'll explore software tools and techniques and systems modelling, alongside options that range from data warehousing and project management to developing mobile apps.

This course is ideal for recent graduates and computing practitioners who require more formal training. By offering a solid foundation in modern software tools and the principles of good software engineering, we provide the skills you need to seek exciting new job opportunities.

  • You’ll develop the in-depth knowledge necessary to enhance your current skill set within Computing and Information Systems.
  • Learn all about the design and development of information systems as well as their planning and control.
  • Throughout this course you’ll learn the project management skills required for IT consultancy and strategic decision-making.
  • The University of Greenwich has a long-standing relationship with the British Computer Society (BCS), which accredits our computing degree programmes. As this programme was extensively updated in 2019, it has a current designation of Partial Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) accreditation for the 2019 intake. The accreditation status is expected to be confirmed in spring 2022 after the first cohort of students graduate. Students will be kept updated on the status of this. In the very unlikely event that this does not progress as expected the university will support students with individual BCS membership applications at the point of graduation.
