Subject descriptions for BIS program
Information Systems is the study of the application and use of information technology - hardware, software, networks, and database - by individuals and organisations. The Department of Information Systems is the University's newest department, founded in 1995 in recognition of the growing need to understand how information technology may be used in creative ways to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
The Department's teaching and research cover those Information Technology and management topics that must be understood by any competent information systems professional. These topics are primarily technical, but include as well accounting, economics, and organisational analysis and change. In addition, the Department strives to foster and encourage the ability to learn and re-learn, a necessary trait for career success in this rapidly changing field.
This course focuses on the design, specification, and creation of information systems, and on the human and organisational arrangements needed to use information systems to achieve organisational goals. To cover these increasingly interrelated topics, the course offers study in five key areas: information systems, information technology, organisations, analytical skills, and professional competencies.
Bachelor of Information Systems graduates will find employment in a variety of professional roles, ranging from the very technical to the very business oriented, in public and private organisations in Australia and overseas.
