Introduction

The course covers the use of computer and communications systems to support administrative procedures and management decision making in a business environment. It is intended for people holding a degree or diploma or the equivalent (as approved by the faculty admissions committee) who wish to acquire expertise in the introduction of technological tools into the workplace. The aim of this course is to provide the opportunity for people such as business managers, professional office workers, computing professionals, business consultants, technology sales personnel and business systems analysts to develop expertise in the introduction and management of advanced technology into business organisations.
There is the option to enrol in one of three streams - one for those with little background in business or computing, one for those with a background in business and another for those with a background in computing.

Admission requirements

A recognised degree or diploma or equivalent as approved by the board of the Faculty of Information Technology.
