I found my City classes interesting and extremely eye-opening, because they were very dynamic. There was an open communication between the lecturers and the students which stimulated and enhanced the contents of the subjects being discussed. I learned from my fellow classmates as much as I learned from the lecturers. In addition, my class was quite diverse. I reckoned nearly half of the class was made up of international students. They came from Greece, Sri Landa, China, India and Oman, amongst other countries. I expected that the BSAD course would prepare me to be an IT professional. What I liked about the course was that the curriculum contained theory and practical aspects of information systems in an appropriate proportion. It was the right course for me personally as I had no IT background prior to participating in the program and I did not expect myself to become a programmer or a database administrator, but rather as a mediator between the business groups and the IT people in an organisation. The BSAD program has enabled me to speak both languages more confidently.

MSc Business Systems Analysis and Design, 2000

The MSc Business Systems Analysis and Design at City University London is probably the best known and most respected programme of its type in Europe. Demand continues to grow for systems analysts, with average salaries exceeding 40,000 pounds. City's programme has a unique blend of strong technology knowledge with transferable skills in consultancy and project management. The BSAD course introduced me to the core skills that employers need for the the long-term: business analysis, SQL, use-case analysis, ERP and UML. From City I was hired by Ovum, the advisory and analyst firm, which launched me into a career consulting to technology and telecoms providers.

MSc Business Systems Analysis and Design

By attending this City course I was able to learn in depth the tools and techniques for analysis and designing business information systems, along with evolving and improving my communication skills. This course faces all the real life issues for building ERP systems through out their lifecycle. More importantly it gave me the opportunity to work in a multinational environment from which I gained a lot in understanding the way different people from different cultural backgrounds think and work. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to have a career in the IT consulting world.

Panagiotis Nikolaidis, SAP Consultant - Sidenor SA
MSc Business Systems Analysis and Design

The MSc Business Systems Analysis & Design course at City prepared me for many of the IT challenges and skills I needed in the real world of work and business. While many courses tend to focus around the theory and academics of IT and computing, this course at City did not. While there had to be some theory, it blended it into a very practical framework and environment which gave you the confidence to tackle these issues after graduating. Many of the skills and techniques I learnt at on the MSc course at City I am still using today - 20 years after graduating.
