Course Overview

The BSc in Information Systems is a UK Level 6 honours degree, normally three years full-time with part-time and accelerated routes covering the business-facing design of data, process and technology in organisations. The programme concentrates on ERD and process modelling, ERP and CRM platforms, SQL, dashboarding, requirements engineering and change management, and the syllabus is aligned with BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT) guidance and reference materials from Institute of Coding. Delivery is available on-campus in central London, fully online with the same lab and tooling provisioning, or by distance learning, and every route joins the same intake cohort with weekly tutor visibility and named programme-tutor support.

By graduation from the BSc in Information Systems you will be a graduate ready for business analyst, systems analyst or junior consultant roles, with full honours-level breadth with a research-informed final year and industry placement demonstrated through a portfolio of coursework, applied labs and, at the closing stage, coursework, technical examinations, group project work and an individual final-year project. Every learner leaves the BSc in Information Systems with a documented body of work suitable for UK employer conversations across consulting practices, business analysis teams, public-sector transformation programmes and enterprise IT, and with a clear progression route into the next step of the LSCE ladder. Coursework is scheduled around working professionals so that part-time and full-time routes share the same weekly seminar, the same assessment rubric and the same tutor group.
