Bachelor of Business Information Systems (Honours)

The Bachelor of Business Information Systems Honours is for students who have an undergraduate degree in Information Systems, or equivalent, and who wish to undertake a research project as part of an add-on Honours year.
The course combines 30 credit points of 400-level coursework and an 18 credit point research project. The 400-level coursework provides a background in Information Systems similar to that found in a Masters degree. The research project allows students to identify a viable research problem; design an appropriate methodology to achieve the objectives of the project; follow the methodology to gather and analyse data to satisfy the objectives; and to write the whole as a comprehensive research report or thesis. This degree is highly sought after in industry and provides an excellent pathway to a PhD.
This course will provide you with a good understanding of the research process and how to apply that process to a small but significant research project. You will also have studied a number of coursework subjects, predominantly in the area of Information Systems and Information Technology management. This will significantly extend the skills you develop in your undergraduate degree.

IELTS Academic: 6.0. TOEFL ibt: 70.

Students considering an Honours degree are encouraged to talk to the Program Coordinator well in advance to seek approval for enrolment, discuss their program, and negotiate a thesis topic and supervisors
