ITC548 Information Systems Analysis and Design (8)

This subject provides students with an opportunity to examine information systems analysis and design techniques from a business perspective. This includes knowledge and skills in feasibility analysis, requirements gathering, domain modelling, and systems development methodologies and planning. Students will also study advanced design techniques used to build an information system from a set of business requirements.
