Has anyone ever done the BSc (Hons) in Business Information Systems Part-time course?

    I received an ordinary degree in computer science a years ago at a different college and since then I have worked in different I.T jobs.

    Last year I did the certificate in web development at NCI and found it to be a good college.

    Because my degree is level 7, I'm not able to do any postgraduate courses at level 8 or 9.


    Although I do already have a degree, the problem with technology jobs is that they constantly updates themselves with new existing technology.

    Things like youtube, facebook, mobile apps, tablet PCs and wireless broadband never existed when I first started college.


    So if I did a degree again in a year or two, it would mostly be revision, but also a chance to learn new existing technologies to keep up with employment demand.

    Plus it would also give the option of doing a Masters degree at the college or elsewhere.


    Would you recommend this course?

    I'm on the Computing degree course at night which is the exact same as the BIS for the first 2 years. Not sure if it splits off from Year 3 or Year 4.

    Will you be getting exemptions from any of the first few years? It would be a nightmare having to do another 4 years.

    Anyway, I'm enjoying the course a lot.

    BIS and Computing are identical for first 2 years and then split with some modules overlapping and then by 4th year there's little overlap. Computing would be more technical with more programming but in BIS you are still expected to develop a technical project in 4th year. I started in BIS and then moved to Computing in year 3 as I needed the more technical side of things and it's more interesting than business for me. So, it really depends on what you are looking for.
