The combined Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Information Systems course provides a course of study for students who want to understand information systems from a technological perspective, the organisational contexts in which these systems are developed, and the business environments which determine how the systems can be used to create value. Graduates of this course will readily find employment across a spectrum of knowledge-intensive careers, including accounting, consulting, and general management.
As for the Bachelor of Commerce and the Bachelor of Information Systems (Objectives of the course).
It will be possible within the outlines of the BCom/BIS course to achieve either the approved undergraduate course of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICA) or the required subjects for associate status with CPA Australia.
The Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Information Systems course normally requires five years of full-time study.
Students must complete a minimum of 500 points. Within the 500 points students must ensure that they satisfy the requirements of both the Commerce component and the Information Systems component as specified below.
A minimum of 200 Commerce points is required, which must include:
50-125 points at the 100-level;
at least 50 points at the 300-level;
the following compulsory subjects:
316-101 Introductory Macroeconomics
316-102 Introductory Microeconomics
316-130 Quantitative Methods 1
and one of:
316-205 Introductory Econometrics
316-206 Quantitative Methods 2
325-210 Managerial Decision Analysis
325-212 Market Research.
The 200 Commerce points must be chosen from subjects taught by departments in the Faculty of Economics and Commerce, or subjects with a 732 prefix taught by the Faculty of Law.
A minimum of 212.5 points of Information Systems subjects must be completed, including the core subjects listed below, or approved alternate subjects.
615-102 Accounting & Finance for Decision Making
615-120 Information Systems in Organisations
615-145 Concepts in Software Development I

615-328 Managing the Impact of IT
615-347 Application Environments
615-350 Case Studies in Information Systems
In no case may students receive credit for both a core subject and its alternate.
Normally students enrolled in the BCom/BIS course select 615-150 Organisational Processes. However students who plan to include substantial elective studies in Accounting may instead enrol in 306-106 Enterprise Process Analysis.
The remaining 87.5 points may be taken from subjects offered by Information Systems, Economics and Commerce, or another faculty.
