Mission

To produce PhD graduates with expertise at the intersection of IT and business for R&D units and applied academic institutions. To establish SIS as a distinct research and teaching school in Asia that attracts high-caliber professors, and influences academic research and industry practices.

Our Goal

To develop researchers/educators who address deep technology challenges in real information systems that impact business processes or management, or who develop tools and methodologies to translate business goals to technology solutions. Our PhD graduates will be capable of collaborating with faculty members from different research areas, designing technology solutions for real-world problems and applications, while still producing top-rate academic publications.

Employment Prospects of Our Graduates

R&D units require PhD graduates with system/business-view of technology, to complement graduates from other institutions who are trained to work on component technologies.

Academic institutions, particularly software schools require PhD graduates with application/system building and management skills.

Industry requires PhD graduates with the skill to develop tools and methodologies to translate business goals into technology requirements, and also to build technology-based solutions that contribute to revenue growth or cost reduction.

SIS' PhD training will offer our graduates good employment prospects through a well-rounded education, and also opportunities to establish their network of contacts.
