Master of Business Administration / Master of Information Technology

If you’re an information technology professional looking to pursue a senior management role, specialise in data science and advance your IT career - the Master of Business Administration Master of Information Technology is for you. As data-driven decision-making is becoming essential for organisations of all sizes, a question that arises is whether managers of the future should pursue a Artificial Intelligence and Data Science or a Business Administration postgraduate degree. This course uniquely lets you combine both. As an IT professional, you need both business acumen and highly-specialised discipline skills to take your career into the future. This combined qualification will give you the skills you need to address a gap in the market and boost your IT career opportunities. You’ll develop specialist skills in business and data analytics so you can work with big data and combine artificial intelligence and data science with business management. The industry is always changing – so we collaborate with industry, advisory boards and integrate feedback from students to make sure the course content keeps up with the needs of today’s workplace.

You’ll gain valuable knowledge and business insights, and also develop greater self-awareness as you learn to reflect on your leader identity and leadership attributes. You’ll work closely with our academic team, and choose electives from business management and economics to create a specialist qualification to suit your goals and career aspirations.
