Our Data and Information Systems programme focuses on three key areas: data storage, data analysis, and information systems. As a student, you will learn the technical aspects of data science, such as data visualisation, data collection, and data processing. By the end of the course, you will be well-versed in how information systems operate.
The world is generating more data than ever before, and the ability to analyse this large scale data is becoming crucial for businesses. Our programme teaches you how to handle this data effectively. You will learn the techniques needed for the processing, analysis, and visualisation of data, preparing you to meet industry demands.
We ensure you are equipped with knowledge of the current data industry. The programme also focuses on lifelong learning skills. This means you will be able to keep your knowledge and skills up-to-date throughout your career, which is essential in this fast-moving field.
Upon graduation, you will find many employment opportunities. Organisations that collect and process large amounts of data will need your skills. You will likely start as a data analyst, where you will work in teams to analyse data using statistical techniques. You will also use visualisation methods to present the results clearly and effectively.
This programme covers various topics, including computer systems, business technology, and technology trends. You will gain experience in programming, web design, and systems development, making you a well-rounded candidate for many roles in the tech industry.
Our course is designed to be engaging and practical, giving you the tools you need to succeed in your future career. With a focus on real-world applications, you will graduate ready to tackle the challenges of the data industry. You will not only have technical skills but also the ability to think critically and solve problems, making you a valuable asset to any employer.
Join our Data and Information Systems programme to start your journey in this exciting and ever-evolving field. Develop your expertise in data analysis, data visualisation, and information systems, and prepare for a career full of opportunities.

Alternative entry routes
If this course interests you, but you don't have the entry requirements to join our bachelor's degree you could consider:
- 'with Foundation Year': This route is designed to give you extra support as it provides you with an additional year (full-time) of supported study.
Once you successfully complete your Foundation Year studies, you will automatically advance onto the main degree.
- Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE): This is a one-year course and is equivalent to the first year of the three year, full-time bachelor's degree.
Once you have successfully completed your CertHE studies, you will be eligible to progress for the remaining two years of the bachelor's degree.
These are ideal routes if you are returning to study after a gap, or if you have not previously studied this subject, or if you did not achieve the grades you need for a place on this degree.
English language requirements
If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, our usual requirement is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 6.0, with not less than 5.5 in each of the sub-tests. We also accept other English language tests.
