BA/BS in Information System

A fairly recent addition at Van Lang, this field responds to the growing demand in society for information technology skills. Teaching centres on projects, hands-on work and close ties with companies. Modern laboratory technology is available, and internships give students an early introduction to business partners. Each academic year is split into three semesters. Learners use specialist knowledge of information systems to tackle genuine problems encountered by people and firms. On completion, graduates should be able to convey ideas clearly through language, systems thinking and multimedia, and to carry a sense of duty and professional ethics into their jobs. The course will interest students who want to link technology with how organisations operate, and who prefer learning by doing real assignments over memorising theory. Cooperation with industry keeps the content tied to actual workplace needs.
