Information Systems is a major of study that focuses on people, organizations, technology, and the relationships between these elements within organizations and businesses. As technology continues to advance, the demand for professionals in this field increases. Information Systems experts help businesses maximize their investments in people, technology, and business processes. Key attributes for those working in this field include good communication skills, an understanding of business operations, and knowledge and skills related to information technology.

Information Systems is the combination of hardware, software, and telecommunications networks used to collect, create, and distribute data, information, and useful knowledge within the context of an organization. Organizations use Information Systems for various purposes, such as gaining a competitive advantage, attracting more customers, or improving services. In the current and future knowledge-based economy, building an Information System to support organizations is a necessity. Information Systems affect everyone working in organizations, especially employees in the field of Information Technology. Therefore, the Faculty of Information Systems offers training programs to equip its students with the knowledge and skills to build and operate Information Systems effectively.

Many people may confuse Information Systems with Information Technology (IT) or Computer Science (CS), but in reality, they are not quite the same. Information Systems focus on the design, management, and operation of information systems, data analysis for decision support, and connecting various stakeholders within organizations and businesses with Information Technology experts. It also involves knowing how to make businesses operate more efficiently and gain a competitive edge. This is the key distinction between an Information Systems expert and a Computer Science or Information Technology expert.
