The Bachelor of Business Information Systems Honours is for students who have an undergraduate degree in Information Systems, or equivalent, and who wish to undertake a research project as part of an add-on Honours year.

This degree

The course combines 30 credit points of 400-level coursework and an 18 credit point research project. The 400-level coursework provides a background in Information Systems similar to that found in a Masters degree. The research project allows students to identify a viable research problem; design an appropriate methodology to achieve the objectives of the project; follow the methodology to gather and analyse data to satisfy the objectives; and to write the whole as a comprehensive research report or thesis. This degree is highly sought after in industry and provides an excellent pathway to a PhD.

What you will study

This course will provide you with a good understanding of the research process and how to apply that process to a small but significant research project. You will also have studied a number of coursework subjects, predominantly in the area of Information Systems and Information Technology management. This will significantly extend the skills you develop in your undergraduate degree.
