Brunel University has developed a new business
systems integration
course in partnership with SAP.
The university’s School of Information Systems Computing and
Maths and SAP have launched an MSc in business systems integration,
to help improve the employment prospects of post graduate
students.
Designed to reflect the needs of modern organisations, the
course combines the integration of people, process and information
with hands-on experience of aspects of
SAP R/3, Business Warehouse and the Netweaver development
platform.
The new MSc will commence in the 2007/2008 academic year, and
increases SAP’s partnership with universities.
The SAP University Alliance is the largest academic business
collaboration in the world. Membership, which is by invitation
only, consists of 500 leading academic institutions.
Dr Mark Lycett, deputy head of the School of Information Systems
Computing and Maths at Brunel, said, “The MSc in business systems
integration is key to our strategy of continually improving the
employability of our postgraduate students.
“Here, the students will partner the key theory and conceptual
knowledge they gain, with hands-on experience of a leading
commercial enterprise system.”
SAP said the course would help students get jobs with
enterprises that directly deploy SAP business apps, and with SAP
outsourcing partners such as
IBM and
Accenture.
