It comprises eight units taken from the Master of Business Systems (Coursework) program. The program 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. Entry requirementsThe normal entry requirement is a first degree that is recognised as equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree. Those expecting to complete their degrees in the current year may apply. Candidates without formal tertiary qualifications will enter via the Professional Certificate in Information Technology or Executive Certificate in Information Technology. Advanced standingGenerally, 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 or any other degree or diploma. Where credit is granted, the number of non-business systems (BUSxxxx) elective units that can be taken is reduced. Students who take out this award and then elect to return to the Master of Business Systems will only receive 24 points of advanced standing for the 48 points used to obtain the graduate diploma.
