The Master of Information Systems Management addresses the continual demand for IT professionals who can combine technical knowledge with a deep understanding of the businesses or organisation they work in. Our program is designed to provide you with the skills to project manage information systems design and installation, including assessing business risk, setting the project scope and managing project budgets. 

Project strategy and systems security are key components that you will cover in this degree.  Optional units cover contemporary topics to help give you an edge in the workplace, such as social media management, data mining, cyber crime and how to design information systems to give a business an advantage over its competitors.

As well as being suitable for those with an IT background, by undertaking the foundational units the course also becomes accessible for those whose previous study was in engineering, science, accountancy, finance and some other business-related fields.
