Master of Business Systems Professional Re-enrolment 2008

The Faculty of Information Technology has recently undertaken a major strategic review of its courses to ensure the best outcomes for graduates.  We are committed to delivering courses that are innovative and continue to be relevant to the changing needs of both students and employers.  For 2008 the Master of Business Systems and the Master of Information Management and Systems degrees will include a range of specialisations or professional tracks selected from areas such as Business Application Development, Business Intelligence, Business Systems, Corporate Information and Knowledge Management, Enterprise Systems, and Library, Archival and Recordkeeping Systems.

In 2009 the Masters of Business Systems (MBS) and the Master of Information Management and Systems (MIMS) degrees will merge to create the Master of Business Information Systems (MBIS).
