MSc Information System at UoN.
MSc computer science is for those who did BSc computer Science.

It's difficult to answer without seeing the two curriculums. There could be some overlapping courses.

I'd say either. Physics is an elementary science that gives a lot of basic scientific principles laws and applications used in various fields...computer science being but a few of them. Now for a country that is transforming itself to being a knowledge based economy Information systems or computer science at a post graduate level gives u a lot of milleage in terms of research sciences( which tend to use alot of algorithms , laws and hypothesis from elementary sciences) which means that any field u may follow up at that level takes u right away to phd level with a lot of ease. I have published several papers with ease courtesy of this fact, whereas research sciences tend to be a little difficult for someone without elementary sciences background. None the less Kenya could be an R&D destination esp with the rise of science parks. All in all there are lot of practical areas u will apply ur knowledge with the kind of knowledge u gain is these areas. currently most of my collegues with a similar background are in serious consultancies regionally and globally e.g in the UK and Japan adding as i may proudly say to the body of knowledge and advancement of humanity. Their works are not highly publicized but they are involved with serious patent works with EADS NASA Oxford Uni, Sumsang just to name a few.

"You Cannot Manage That Which You Cannot Measure"

Well,i went to UON school of computing as advised by a wazuan and what i gathered is that Msc Information systems is a conversion course for anyone with any undergraduate qualification and not necessarily from science or computing background.However,there are prerequisite courses in research methodology and algorithms which must be pursued and only after passing with B grade will one be admitted to the program.However,these courses are already covered in undergarduate program in both phy and comp as well as in pure bsc comps programs.
My question therefore is,what would be the strength of this program compared to msc comp science especially for one interested to pursue to Doctorate level and also enter to consultancy after Msc.
For Clarification,the job market is not the principal reason for choosing this stream but passion is.
But,who woudn't like taking a rewarding stream financially among other phases of expectations along a career path?
Thank you.
