The Department of Information Systems positions itself as a leading institution in information systems education and research internationally. We seek to be a strong institutional and consulting partner with local industries, government bodies, and professional associations. We have more than 20 dedicated faculty members who are active in areas including culture and information systems, e-commerce, e-government, information privacy and user-database interaction. Our work and contributions set the standards in academia and industry -- a number of our faculty members serve on the councils or academic advisory boards of international organisations. Upholding the School’s pedagogical approach in grounding students in the fundamentals of technology, we integrate their technical savvy with the social and human perspectives of putting technologies to work.
