This coursework degree, offered by the Clayton School of Information Technology, 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.

Entry requirements

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.

Course structure

The course consists of 12 units (72 points) -- seven core units and five electives.

(a) Core units:

(b) One business systems postgraduate elective unit (level 4 or above).

(c) Two postgraduate electives - these must be level 4 or above units offered by the Faculty of Information Technology. Non-business systems units may only be taken with permission of the school responsible for the unit.

(d) Two postgraduate general electives - these must be level 4 or above units offered by any faculty within the university (including the Faculty of Information Technology). Non-business systems units may only be taken with permission of the school responsible for the unit.

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 non-business systems elective units that can be taken is reduced.

Applicants who hold an honours degree in business systems from Monash University or Graduate Diploma in Business Systems from Monash University will normally be granted advanced standing equivalent to four units.
