Description

This course aims to prepare students for professional and academic careers in the field of information management and information systems research and practice. 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.

Structure

This course consists of a program of supervised research and submission of a thesis. The course can be taken as 100 per cent research or by a combination of research and additional coursework.

Requirements

Each candidate is required to undertake supervised research in an area of information management or information 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.

Those students undertaking a coursework component can study units up to 12 points and must consult with the course coordinator about appropriate units to complete the requirements of the degree.

The overall result for the degree will be determined by combining the graded thesis and the results of any approved coursework units.
