There is increasing
awareness of a gap, of understanding and communication, between
technical computing specialists and business management. The
former often do not understand business processes while the
latter frequently lack awareness of the threats and opportunities
brought by changing levels of computer systems use. This gap
can be spanned by a new breed of technically competent management,
able to comprehend management requirements for the organisation
in business terms and lead a team of technical professionals
in providing Information Systems solutions that meet those needs.
The Computing
and Information Systems programme is designed to help you become
such a leader, but is by no means limited to such a vocational
purpose, however valuable. The programme also provides a path
to a variety of higher degrees that can further differentiate
you in today's competitive employment scene.
This programme
will demand much effort from you. Goldsmiths has designed it
to be testing and challenging in order to provide lasting benefit.
I look forward
to welcoming you to the Computing and Information Systems programme,
and hearing the story of your success in the years ahead.
