About this course

Please note that this program is undergoing a review for 2018 - for further information please contact the Course Director.

This unique program enables students to achieve the aims and objectives of both the current Swinburne Master of Information Systems Management (MISM) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) courses in the most time/cost-efficient and effective way.

The information systems component is concerned with the application of information technology to support organisations in the conduct of their business. It examines both the organisational issues and the techniques and technology required for the analysis, design and implementation of business solutions, with an emphasis on electronic commerce.

The business administration component not only offers the opportunity to acquire contemporary management knowledge and skills, it also provides students with the ability to apply that knowledge in an innovative, creative and entrepreneurial way.
