Overview

Business information specialists analyse business problems and find possible IT solutions for these problems; from running an efficiency audit on a company's information systems to analysing the effectiveness of a file management system and designing business software applications.

You will study the fundamentals of computer science and IT: programming, problem-solving, network and communications, web technology, data management, system analysis, human-computer interaction, and project management.

This degree is specifically designed to prepare you for a career as a systems analyst or an information systems specialist. As well as having the capability of working in a business environment, graduates can work for the government or non-profit organisations.

See the course handbook for more information.

The Bachelor of Business Information Systems covers business analysis systems and design, programming, data management, business systems infrastructure and security.

You will also study key commerce subjects such as accounting and management.

In your final year you will develop your own application as part of a student team project, developing solutions to real-world problems provided by our industry partners.
