Overview

Key features

Centred in Africa, our vision is to be the Information Systems Department of choice for

learners in search of a quality education

researchers in search of a stimulating environment

academic staff in search of a meaningful and challenging vocation

employers in search of quality graduates; and

leaders in search of an institute of calibre.

As ICT professionals and learning facilitators in the Eastern Cape Province, we undertake

to promote the construction of knowledge in the discipline of Information Systems through effective and innovative interaction, research and consulting based on the use of appropriate technology, and

to produce quality graduates and information systems’ artefacts within a climate of excellence, integrity and ethical behaviour.

Why Information Systems?

The career opportunities after you graduate the Information Systems program at Rhodes University offer you freedom, personal growth, job satisfaction, and an above average income from day one. Information technology has become a vital component of business strategy, and the Information Systems manager faces a challenging task with high corporate visibility, important decision-making opportunities, and a career path which could lead all the way to the top. Since there are frequently no right or wrong answers, your creative abilities, communication skills and business knowledge will be just as important as the technology that you deal with. If you are considering going into marketing, finance or any other business discipline (or even if you simply want to keep your options open), a qualification in Information Systems will pave your way to success.
