Aim

The program is designed to develop leadership skills and specialised expertise at an advanced level in business, financial and information systems disciplines.

Content & Structure

The program requires completion of courses totalling 54 units taken over 1 calendar year. The duration of 1.5 years, as listed in the program snapshot, is reflective of the usual duration for a 54 unit program. Unlike most 54 unit programs, the Master of Business Information Systems is completed in one calendar year of full time study, as some courses are taught during the summer study period 7.
