Description

The Master of Business Information Systems / Master of Business Administration dual degree aims to combine the requirements of both masters programs. The Master of Business Information Systems provides a relevant and innovative program to address the need for both Information Technology (IT) and non-IT professionals to increase their breadth and depth of knowledge in Business Information Systems. The course offers a targeted degree that allows students to understand the impact of the application of information systems in a business environment. Students gain an understanding of the strategic significance of information systems (IS) in driving competitive strategies and organisational change. The course examines the significance of both technological and organisational issues in the analysis, design, development and deployment of IS solutions for sustainable business.

The Master of Business Administration is designed to provide the basic building blocks needed to become an effective manager in a variety of organisational settings. It is a broad-based, postgraduate degree rather than a technical qualification required for a particular job or vocation. The goal of the program is to provide students with the foundations in content and competencies that will support their development as effective managers in a variety of organisational settings and roles.


Professional Recognition

The Master of Business Information Systems/Master of Business Administration has been designed to meet accreditation requirements of the Australian Computer Society (pending).
