Business and Information Technology

Businesses, big and small, rely on technology and information systems to operate successfully in a rapidly changing global market.Combining Business and Information Technology gives you the skills to apply business principles and knowledge across the IT sector or to assist businesses to implement new technological advances.

You have the opportunity to explore areas of interest or develop new ones;

or combine your majors to develop key skills.

Double degree courses allow you to study towards two different degrees at the same time, and graduate with two separate qualifications. And because a required subject in one course can count as an elective in the other, our double degrees take two years less than if you studied for the two degrees separately.

The Bachelor of Business is a comprehensive course, structured in three equal parts. In the double degree course you complete:

A. Business specified study
