About

In the Master of Business Information Systems at Swinburne University of Technology, you will learn what information systems can do, how they can be effectively deployed, computer coding, models to elicit business intelligence and ways to solve real problems.

Overview

In the Master of Business Information Systems at Swinburne University of Technology, you will straddle the world between computer coders and business decision-makers – a fast-growing and largely untapped space ready to be bridged by those with the relevant technical and business skills.

You don’t need to be a technological wonder to study this course, but you will need to develop relevant skills.

The Master of Business Information Systems develops expertise in technical, business modelling, analytical, communication, data visualisation, statistical analysis, stakeholder engagement and strategic skills. Close industry links and experience with corporate systems provide opportunities to practically apply knowledge learned. The course design also allows the choice of electives to complete a specialisation in related areas such as business analytics or project management. The Master of Business Information Systems is accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), and endorsed by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA).

Upon successfully completing the Master of Business Information Systems, graduates will be able to:

  • demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of the inter-disciplinary nature of information systems in organisations
  • critically evaluate the underpinnings of information systems, including business analysis, requirements analysis, database design and analysis, the management of information systems, IT project management and professional issues
  • critically evaluate a range of theories and practices pertaining to the use of information systems in organisations, and apply them in the context of business analysis, project management and information management
  • critically analyse organisational problems from both a broader information systems perspective and the specific perspective of business analysis, project management or information management
  • communicate effectively with key stakeholders, develop effective working relationships, as a member or leader of a team
  • demonstrate creativity and flexibility in the application of knowledge and skills to new situations, to solve complex problems, to respond to ethical organisational and IS/IT issues and dilemmas, and to think rigorously and independently
  • demonstrate a critical understanding and appreciation of the fundamental research principles, research methods, and/or research design within a chosen and/or specified context in the area of Information Systems.
