This course is designed for information systems and information technology professionals who want to increase their knowledge and skills in the management and strategic application of information systems and technology in competitive, global business environments. 

The degree was designed in consultation with our industry advisory board, which includes representatives from many sector-leading enterprises. 

It combines theory, research and practice, and incorporates a range of new concepts, methodologies and technologies. 

In your final semester you will specialise in information systems management, information systems security or business technology.

Note: This major differs from the Master of Commerce (Information Systems and Technology), which is tailored towards graduates without an IT degree and is six months shorter in full-time duration. If you have a degree in a discipline other than IT, consider applying for this course instead.
