The thing i like about BCS is that you're able to customise it to your needs. Though BCS is been regarded as a general IT qualification with a focus on software development I managed to tweak it to be more aligned with networking and web. So it enabled me to easily go for a MSc. in Networking.That being said, if you really wanna focus on MIS then go for the BSc. in MIS course you've shown. The subjects below are covered by BCS and the rest are not.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Database and Information Resource Management</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Project Management</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Management of Information Systems</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Management  Support Systems</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Information System Development and Implementation</li> </ul>I'm not sure what's being covered from Information Systems Applications cos it doesn't give much details.These are not covered in BCS or have different names or covered as a part of a module. Best thing you can do get the full curriculum details and compare it against BCS.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Accounting</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Business Policy</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Marketing Management</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Management of e-Commerce Strategy and Operations</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Management of Organizations</li> </ul>Rmember this, BCS is more towards a generic IT qualification which acts as a launchpad for you to progress in a career you choose. whereas the above course only focuses you in the MIS direction and you will have a limited field of entry.So i would advice you to think where you want to end up in 5 years time, what type of career you want and see if this course fits bill and would actually help you to go there.For you final question, yes yuou can follow MBA's after PGD, but remember, to do a MBA you need to have at least 3-5 years of experience in that particular field. There are already 3/4 MBA holders that i know of who gone from the BCS path but they have ~5years of experience in them.Hope this helps you.Regards,Gayan</blockquote>
