It will provide students with the skills needed to conduct research projects in the fields related to information products, processes, services and systems within and between organisations. Entry requirementsEntry to the course will require completion of a four-year bachelors degree (including at least 50% thesis component in final year) in some relevant area with a grade of at least second class honours (H2A). Applicants who do not meet this requirement may gain entry to the course after the completion of an approved preliminary program at second class honours standard as approved by faculty board. Course structureThe course can be studied in two ways: (1) by 100% research, and (2) by a combination of coursework and research. The coursework component can be up to 12 points of fifth-year units from the Caulfield School of Information Technology information management and systems stream. The choice of units must be approved by the head of school. Each candidate is required to undertake supervised research in an area of information management and systems resulting in the completion of a major thesis. A principal and an associate supervisor will be appointed and the candidate is required to maintain regular contact with the supervisors. Candidates are required to attend and contribute to the school research-in-progress seminar series. The overall result for the degree will be determined by combining the graded thesis and the results of any coursework units that have been approved for MIMS (Res) study.
