The Master of Information Systems course provides the perfect blend between the business and technical side of Information Technology. Information Systems is a challenging field that delves into integrating Information Technology into organizational processes to meet the growing digital demands of business. The Master of Information Systems specifically addresses technology, governance and the strategic use of Information Technology as well as other issues arising from the application of technology to business. The MIS course has a strong focus on Cyber Security, Business Analytics and Project Management, as evidenced by the three available specialisations in the course. Students have the opportunity to select one of these specialisations to complement their studies and enhance their future prospects.
The Master of Information Systems is a two-year course, delivered over four trimesters on a full-time basis. To meet the requirements for graduation, all students must successfully complete 16 units.
Students may elect to exit the MIS after one trimester having qualified for the Graduate Certificate in Information Systems (GCIS) which consists of 4 units, or two trimesters having qualified for the Graduate Diploma of Information Systems (GDIS) which consists of 8 units.
