With Information Technology now revolutionising the way we live and do business, there is an increasing demand for high quality graduates that can bridge the gap between business and information technology. Graduates skilled with a mix of marketing, management, internet, multimedia, computing, networking, software technologies and business operation skills can introduce methods and systems within organisations to enhance productivity and improve efficiencies.
Business Informatics is a specialist area of IT relating to harnessing the synergy that exists between business and IT. Business Informatics can encompass everything from utilising Information Technology to make informed decisions in business through large scale data warehousing to applications for mobile devices.
Students can study subjects from a wide range of areas, such as web/mobile technologies, consumer and market integration technologies, database and information systems integration, knowledge management platforms, data mining, market analysis, e-business, business processes, decision support systems, human computer interaction, networking and other business areas.
The University provides a well-equipped environment, including several state-of-the-art laboratories with specialist facilities for multimedia design and networking. In addition there are small group tutorials and hands on practical sessions in the laboratories.
Our Master of Information Technology program is fully accredited by the Australian Computer Society at the 'Professional Level' (its highest level).
