ITKTO_TJTOS Specialisation in Information Systems Science (D.Sc. (Econ. & Bus. Adm.)) (30+ cr)

Doctoral graduates in information systems science play a crucial role in designing, implementing, maintaining, evaluating and using information systems that support various functions and processes in both organizational and leisure contexts. The graduates possess a multidisciplinary skill set that combines technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and a deep understanding of technology-related human behavior and organizational processes and objectives. They bridge the gap between technological, behavioral and business needs, ensuring that information systems effectively support the goals and objectives of an organization, an individual or a society – or of their networks. Information systems science is closely connected with cybersecurity, digital transformation, digital innovation, digital services, digital work, human behavior, electronic government, digital security, and data analysis.

A doctoral graduate in Information Systems Science:

• demonstrates both broad-level knowledge of the discipline and specific-level knowledge relevant to his/her own research interests
• knows relevant theories and research methods and applies them to produce new scientific knowledge and when assessing existing research.
• communicates his/her research results according to the disciplinary practices
