Business Information Systems

Advantages: Well rounded
Disadvantages: too many early classes

...This is a well rounded course, with a good all round selection of modules in computing and business management.

Advantages: Social life, beaches, vocational
Disadvantages: reputation as a retirement town, distance from London

...I have recently completed a 4yr degree at Bournemouth in Information Systems Management (now called Business Information Systems Management). I really enjoyed my 4 years there.

Although in Nottingham the women are said to outnumber the men by about three to one, on this course the boys outnumbered the girls by 4 to 1. But I suppose that this was to be expected, being a computing course! The business school is reasonably well equipped with up to date computers, and there is a 24 hour lab which could get very crowded, even at three in the morning, at the end of the semester. Although I did not particularly enjoy the course I believe that this was because I didn't choose wisely in the first place. I would urge... Read review
