Course description

This course - an extension of the Master of International Systems Management - gives students an understanding of industry-based IT tools and information systems concepts applied to business environments. The program imparts knowledge and skills along four dimensions: industry-based IT tools, business subjects, business-focused IT subjects and an industry-based business intelligence project.

Industry-based IT tools include enterprise information systems (e.g. SAP), and business intelligence (e.g. SAS). Business-focused IT subjects include areas such as information systems design, information systems management, enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management, human computer interaction, business intelligence, entrepreneurship and IT data warehousing, knowledge management, IT project management and decision support systems.

Course structure

Students complete sixteen subjects, comprising thirteen compulsory subjects drawn from business and information technology disciplines and three electives. They also have the opportunity to be selected by one or more of our industry partners for an internship program of up to twelve weeks. These companies conduct business in a number of areas including business intelligence, enterprise and resource planning and healthcare.
