MSc in Management Information Systems

Programme Leader,
Professor Hans van der Heijden Welcome to the web pages for the MSc in Management Information Systems programme, I hope you find these useful. Please email me if you have any questions about the programme at: h.vanderheijden@surrey.ac.uk

The MSc in Management Information Systems (MIS) is of particular interest to those with a general management degree and who seek careers in an non-IT line of business where they work closely with IT staff; or those who in an IT-company or in an IT-related line of business where they will work closely with business departments such as marketing, accounting and human resources.

Information and information systems are critical to the operations of many, if not all commercial enterprises. In addition, with the mass-scale adoption of the Internet, information systems have become increasingly useful tools for companies to establish online relationships with customers. This ties in with the trend for systems to be used across organisational boundaries, either in the stable business to business relationship, or in a more fluid market relationship where businesses meet each other online on electronic markets and auctions.
