The Master of Science in Computer-Based Management Information Systems (CBMIS) is a joint programme offered by the Department of Computing (DOC) and the Mona School of Business and Management (MSBM). Since its inception in 1993, the CBMIS programme has sought to train and educate students to have a positive impact in various organizations, both regionally and globally. The programme was established in response to the rapidly growing demand for a new type of graduate student with an in-depth knowledge in management information systems and computer science. This demand arose from the increased use of computer-based systems in the financial, manufacturing, mining and retail sectors, as well as in the government sectors.
The purpose of the recently revised programme continues to be one of meeting the demand for the management of information.
Applicants must possess a first degree with a major in Management Studies or in a recognized Computing discipline from a recognized university.
The programme is offered over two years (24 months) inclusive of time needed for completion of the major Research Project.
