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 one of the University's newest departments, 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. 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.

1. Bachelor of Information Systems

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 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.

Information about the BIS course requirements can be found in the Bachelor of Information Systems entry on Bachelor of Information Systems (BIS).

BSc, BASc and BSc combined course students should check the subject entries that follow for information about which subjects are available for science credit.

2. Information systems subjects available for science credit

The following information systems subjects are available as science credit for students enrolled in the BSc, BASc or a combined BSc course (except for the BSc/BIS). All other information systems are non-science for these courses.

3. Bachelor of Information Systems (Degree with Honours)

For information about faculty and departmental entry requirements for honours, please refer to Bachelor of Science (Degree with Honours) and Bachelor of Information Systems (Degree with Honours) These requirements should be considered when planning your course.
