Professional Diploma/Advanced Professional Diploma in Business Information Systems

There is an increasing need for highly computer literate business professionals who can develop business applications using spreadsheets, databases, etc. and can work confidently with their IT colleagues. We offer two programmes incorporating the Association of Business Executives qualifications – the Diploma and the Advanced Diploma. Their aim is to give students a firm grounding in essential IT and business skills, and an ability to build bridges between technology and business practice.

Both programmes incorporate a one year work training placement, during which students can put their
theoretical learning to practical use, and gain an understanding of how businesses really work. During the placement period, students will compile reports relating to their work experience, and will complete their programmes with a dissertation combining theoretical principles and practical experience.

On successful completion of the Advanced Diploma students can enter immediately into employment, and can show prospective employers a combination of academic achievement and relevant work experience.

Alternatively, students can pursue other Higher Education qualifications.
