Course overview
Information Systems are becoming integral to modern culture and are a primary engine behind much of the world’s economic and social change. Today, to implement technology, practising professionals need to understand the context in which computer technology can best be selected, applied and implemented.
This course requires successful completion of 240 credit points which includes sixteen core units and eight elective units. Students can use the eight elective units to complete a specific major, such as Big Data, Mobile Computing or Networking or, students can choose elective units from any discipline available at Sydney City Campus.
At Sydney City Campus, you can complete your three year bachelor’s degree in as little as two years and enter the workforce sooner. A bachelor’s degree usually consists of 24 units. With our flexible academic calendar, you can study 12 units in one year over three sessions. However, we recommend that you undertake a maximum of 3 units per session so that your study load is not too demanding. You will have less downtime between sessions so a lighter study load will help you to have a better chance at passing all of your units.
