MSc Information Systems Management (Greenw)
Progression at SBCS:
- BSc. (Hons) Computing and Information Systems (Goldsmiths College – University of London)
- MSc. Information Systems Management (University of Greenwich)
For some people, SBCS was probably just a school. However, for me and a lot of my friends, it has become … HOME. From day one at SBCS, I knew that this was a place where I can be comfortable in seeking assistance from the lecturers and staff members in helping me achieve and excel at all of my educational endeavours. I would sincerely like to thank SBCS for the people I have met and friendships I have made along my journey, that I know will last forever. I look forward to furthering my education at SBCS in the near future.
After completing my Associate Degree in Information Technology I was still very unaware of what opportunities were available for career advancement in the field and which avenue would best suit me, I thought that IT was either repairs or programming. I took this uncertainty with me as I entered SBCS to pursue my BSc. in Computing and Information Systems with the University of Greenwich, just wanting to finish my degree and move on, but what I gained was a depth of knowledge and exposure to the possibilities in Information Technology that I never knew were possible. In pursuing my BSc. followed by and MSc. in Information Systems Management, I was challenged to think for my self, innovate, grow and explore technology, by lecturers, through the curriculum and project assignments. All the lecturers were exposed to the industry and applied theory to real life careers which helped me to discover my niche of Business Analysis Consultancy in the Financial Services Sector. These degrees at SBCS aided my professional growth and helped me to not discount the work experience I already gained that wasn’t IT related but apply technology to it, the methodologies and best practices learnt also helped develop this.
The University of London’s BSc. in Computing and Information Systems stands out as the most challenging of my academic endeavours. As such, being awarded First Class Honours on its completion is undoubtedly one of my proudest accomplishments. The CIS degree provided me with an unrivalled broad base of knowledge in the field of computing which boded well for my prospective career in Information Technology. Recognizing that my journey was far from over, I researched available Master’s degrees. I quickly decided to pursue the University of Greenwich’s MSc. in Information Systems Management, largely due to its reputation for offering highly practical and industry relevant programmes. I was not disappointed. Being acutely aware of the competitive nature of today’s job market, I committed myself to expending the time and effort commensurate to post graduate studies at an institution of UOG’s calibre. Ultimately I graduated with a Distinction, an achievement which was instrumental in my transition from police officer to lecturer in the field of computing and information systems management. One of SBCS’ credos is lifelong learning. I implore all students to make this principle a cornerstone of their personal and professional lives since complacency makes us ill-equipped to deal with change.
