Entry requirements

A bachelor degree in any discipline from an Australian university or college, or equivalent; or a CQU Graduate Certificate in Information Systems or equivalent.

Candidates who have completed an approved graduate diploma such as the Graduate Diploma of Information Systems Management CF05, will be granted standing of up to 6 courses in this program.

International students should visit http://www.international.cqu.edu.au/ for further information including English language requirements.

Advanced entry is available directly into term 2 for students who can demonstrate that they have attained the required knowledge. These students will undertake 9 courses to complete the program. To be granted advanced entry a student must:

1.  have a bachelor degree; and

2.  be able to demonstrate they have the required knowledge (based on the content of COIS20024, COIS20025 and COIT29222); and

3.  either:

• have two years relevant work experience; or
• have one year other postgraduate education; or
• have attained a final year GPA of 4.7 in their undergraduate degree at an Australian Institution or equivalent.

The Master of Information Systems and the Master of Information Technology programs share a common foundation year, entry levels and also many advanced courses. Therefore, students who transfer from the Master of Information Systems program can be given full credit for all courses studied in that program, provided that the requirements of this program are met.

Part-time program of study

In formulating their program of study candidates who are studying part-time by distance education should give consideration to their work and other commitments, and the prerequisites for advanced courses and if necessary seek advice from the Program Administrator.

Workshops

There are no compulsory workshops in this program. However, students are advised that some business courses may require attendance at workshops.

Computer equipment resources

Students will require access to a computer and printer. Access to the Internet is also required for some courses. The suggested minimum requirement is an IBM compatible computer. If buying a new computer, students should purchase the best quality and highest capacity they can afford. CQU campuses have computers, which may be accessed by students on a 24 hour basis.

Transitional Arrangements

Students currently enrolled in the MIT (E-commerce plan) may complete and graduate with that plan.

No further MIT students may select this plan.
