This
coursework degree, offered by the School of Business Systems, aims to provide
education and training in methods used in the analysis, design, development and
application of computer systems to the management of business operations. This
involves the study of business-related techniques, practices and procedures in
areas such as management, commercial, financial, health and industrial systems,
leading to an understanding of the application of computer systems and
information technology for business purposes.
The course structure accommodates those wishing to upgrade their previous
qualifications with studies in business systems. The course is intended for
those who wish to undertake project work and specialise in a specific area
within business systems.
Students wishing to complete the Master of Business Systems (Projects) will normally enrol initially in the Master of Business Systems (Coursework). Students achieving a suitably high academic standard in their first semester of study and who wish to either specialise in a specific area of business systems or wish to include a greater practical component may have the option to enrol in one or more of the school's project units. For further details of entry requirements, refer to the Master of Business Systems (Coursework) entry.
The
course consists of 12 units (72 credit points) - seven core units and five
electives.
(a) Core units:
(b) One business systems elective
unit at level 4 or above.
(c) Two Faculty of Information Technology electives (including the School of
Business Systems) - these must be level 4 or higher units. Units outside the
School of Business Systems may only be taken with permission of the school
responsible for the unit.
(d) Two general electives - these must be level 4 or higher units offered by
any school within the university including the Faculty of Information
Technology and the School of Business Systems. Units outside the School of
Business Systems may only be taken with permission of the school responsible
for the unit.
* Offered on-campus and by off-campus learning.
Generally,
students who have completed similar units in previous studies will normally be
required to make substitutions. Credit will only be granted for postgraduate
units that have not counted for the award of any other degree or diploma. Where
credit is granted, the number of the elective units that can be taken outside
the School of Business Systems is reduced.
Applicants who hold an honours degree in business systems from Monash
