Degrees

We offer three degree programmes – a one-year MSc in the Analysis Design and Management of Information Systems (ADMIS) focusing on theory and practice, a one-year MSc in Information Systems and Organisation (Research) (ISOR) preparing students for research design and execution, and a PhD in information systems. Two further MSc degrees are planned for 2008-9 in the areas of information, risk and security, and global sourcing. Typically we have 150 ADMIS, 25 ISOR and 50 PhD students in any one year, drawn from more than 40 countries. Entry into the programmes is highly competitive and students are expected to be strongly motivated, as well as exceptionally capable academically. Although some students enter directly from their first degree, work experience is viewed positively. Entry to our PhD programme requires research training equivalent to that provided by the ISOR degree. All students have excellent career prospects and go on to a wide range of careers from small businesses to the largest corporations in the world. Recent ADMIS graduates, for example, are entering business consultancies, banks, financial institutions, software and specialist computing companies, and government service. Graduates and former research students can also be found teaching in other departments of information systems or related disciplines in leading institutions in the UK and across the world.

The ISI Group is responsible for the BSc degree in Information Systems and Management, offered through the University of London External Programme. The Group also contributes to several other LSE programmes. For further information on this programme please contact:
